Richard 7 00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:42,520 Sauter we had a buzzy buzzy episode we 8 00:00:46,979 --> 00:00:44,680 have recently then had this episode dr. 9 00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:46,989 Richard Sauter talking about underground 10 00:00:52,829 --> 00:00:49,750 alien bases about a certain drug he had 11 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:52,839 taken and about the voices he heard now 12 00:00:58,470 --> 00:00:55,570 I know Chris stands by a lot of what he 13 00:01:01,500 --> 00:00:58,480 said about his research and I'll respect 14 00:01:02,939 --> 00:01:01,510 that but one particular problem we had 15 00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:02,949 with that interview is the fact that we 16 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:05,740 have this constant chronic buzzing we 17 00:01:10,190 --> 00:01:08,530 joked about it you know maybe he's there 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:10,200 maybe there's some unaccounted for 19 00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:13,930 interference what I joke about a gene we 20 00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:16,720 tried my humor fell a little flat with 21 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:19,420 the good doctor yes he doesn't 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:22,450 appreciate well it was 3:30 4:00 in the 23 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:25,810 morning at that time we're both getting 24 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:27,490 punched drunk or something not from any 25 00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:29,110 little refreshment but because of the 26 00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:31,300 late hour you know so he got upset over 27 00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:34,300 it but we probably have the solution 28 00:01:41,370 --> 00:01:36,700 it's nothing power normal okay 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:41,380 it is a cellphone placed too close to 30 00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:43,930 his computer an old-fashioned cell phone 31 00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:48,550 sending out too much RF never said throw 32 00:01:50,490 --> 00:01:49,990 out your cell phone let's get on with 33 00:01:52,260 --> 00:01:50,500 this 34 00:01:54,540 --> 00:01:52,270 just think what that cell phone does 35 00:01:56,670 --> 00:01:54,550 close to your brain right think about 36 00:01:59,130 --> 00:01:56,680 that noise that you heard on this 37 00:02:02,070 --> 00:01:59,140 episode okay think about the noise 38 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:02,080 ladies and gentlemen now consider the 39 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:04,330 impact to your brain of all that 40 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:06,850 radiation think of the impact to his 41 00:02:13,559 --> 00:02:09,360 brain all they radiation forget about 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:13,569 all the other stuff that's going on the 43 00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:15,250 ayahuasca doesn't doesn't help either 44 00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:18,310 but I guess in his case it might and in 45 00:02:24,300 --> 00:02:21,190 terms of me standing by his research as 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:24,310 you kind of tactfully put it I really 47 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:27,130 respect which it solder for a number of 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:29,650 reasons the foremost being that he 49 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:30,810 really has 50 00:02:35,839 --> 00:02:33,810 a yeoman's job researching the whole 51 00:02:39,530 --> 00:02:35,849 underground and underwater based 52 00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:39,540 scenario I haven't talked with Richard 53 00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:43,590 in a number of years and I I do realize 54 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:46,980 that he's gone through a lot by his his 55 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:49,290 activist work and in protesting getting 56 00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:51,690 arrested you know climbing the fence at 57 00:02:55,309 --> 00:02:53,489 the missile base and any other 58 00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:55,319 activities that he's political 59 00:03:01,040 --> 00:02:57,510 activities he's been involved with and 60 00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:01,050 you know I do sense that he's been kind 61 00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:03,750 of he's been kind of on edge lately and 62 00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:06,540 it was I don't think we really found him 63 00:03:13,940 --> 00:03:10,140 in his best top form at 3:00 in the 64 00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:13,950 morning and I don't want people on the 65 00:03:19,630 --> 00:03:17,280 forums to throw out a number of years of 66 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:19,640 very good work that he did in the 90s 67 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:22,650 about the underground underwater base 68 00:03:26,809 --> 00:03:25,290 scenario you just because a person you 69 00:03:28,699 --> 00:03:26,819 catch them on a bad day that you can't 70 00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:28,709 throw out all their all their hard work 71 00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:31,080 and I just wanted to underscore that 72 00:03:36,289 --> 00:03:34,349 well this is the problem I have with it 73 00:03:39,140 --> 00:03:36,299 let's not look at the research in the 74 00:03:41,390 --> 00:03:39,150 book but coming in here and saying he 75 00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:41,400 heard these voices transmitted to him 76 00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:44,310 now maybe he's right maybe that's done 77 00:03:49,460 --> 00:03:46,260 obviously it's scientifically possible 78 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:49,470 but it kind of makes your eyes roll a 79 00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:50,850 little bit when you hear it the first 80 00:03:57,199 --> 00:03:53,910 time oh this guy says to me that this is 81 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:57,209 such and though and all that stuff this 82 00:04:01,099 --> 00:03:59,040 guy said this to me while I was home in 83 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:01,109 bed and you guys think you know that's 84 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:03,930 kind of weird isn't it it is weird but 85 00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:07,889 it is what it is and you know I do you 86 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:09,600 know like I said I've known Richard for 87 00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:13,650 quite a number of years and the story 88 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:15,750 always did kind of seem a little strange 89 00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:18,510 to me for obvious reasons but again I 90 00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:21,030 think it was some form of validation in 91 00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:23,820 his own mind whether projected there or 92 00:04:28,129 --> 00:04:25,740 otherwise that the work that he was 93 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:28,139 beginning to under undergo in terms of 94 00:04:33,590 --> 00:04:31,770 research in the whole subject I think it 95 00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:33,600 gave him validation that he was doing 96 00:04:38,659 --> 00:04:35,310 something that needed to be done and I 97 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:38,669 think his his book underground bases and 98 00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:40,530 tunnels were you know what is the 99 00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:42,510 government trying to hide I think is is 100 00:04:46,660 --> 00:04:43,820 the preeminent work on 101 00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:46,670 object M I don't care who you are if you 102 00:04:50,950 --> 00:04:48,710 have any interest in the subject that is 103 00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:50,960 really the go-to book and and and that's 104 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:53,390 that's in the report you know I really 105 00:04:57,550 --> 00:04:54,560 don't care what anybody else thinks 106 00:04:59,770 --> 00:04:57,560 about the man all I know is that he is a 107 00:05:01,270 --> 00:04:59,780 crack researcher and nobody has done the 108 00:05:04,030 --> 00:05:01,280 amount of work in that subject that he 109 00:05:06,130 --> 00:05:04,040 has and I really admire him for that all 110 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:06,140 the other stuff is like you know a 111 00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:08,930 quirky guy I guess as he's getting older 112 00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:14,390 he's getting quirkier so trouble because 113 00:05:21,310 --> 00:05:17,660 I am just quirks but then Jim Mosley is 114 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:21,320 older than I am and worki Oh Jim has 115 00:05:26,590 --> 00:05:24,410 been quirky for every day I've known him 116 00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:26,600 I've known Jim for many many years he's 117 00:05:31,150 --> 00:05:28,190 always been quirky quirky and 118 00:05:33,130 --> 00:05:31,160 fascinating but quirky yep comes with 119 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:33,140 the territory some people do get driven 120 00:05:38,110 --> 00:05:35,450 over the edges we both well know and uh 121 00:05:40,620 --> 00:05:38,120 yeah I just hope that I wish which had 122 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:40,630 the best of luck down in the Ecuadorian 123 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:43,490 wilds of the Ecuadorian jungles down 124 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:45,770 there and I hope that he does find what 125 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:47,930 he's looking for but at the same time I 126 00:05:52,780 --> 00:05:50,210 really do think people need to look at 127 00:05:55,750 --> 00:05:52,790 the man's body work before they just 128 00:05:58,780 --> 00:05:55,760 throw that that body of work out with 129 00:06:00,940 --> 00:05:58,790 the bathwater and also look he got 130 00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:00,950 people who do stand by him like you do 131 00:06:05,620 --> 00:06:02,870 like Richard Dolan and everything else 132 00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:05,630 just remind him keep the cell phone away 133 00:06:10,690 --> 00:06:07,790 from your head or get a different cell 134 00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:10,700 phone that emits less radiation and when 135 00:06:15,550 --> 00:06:13,160 you do shows with Skype keep the cell 136 00:06:18,330 --> 00:06:15,560 phone away yeah and maybe water down 137 00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:18,340 that ayahuasca a little bit too bud I 138 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:21,470 have no problem with that for trying to 139 00:06:25,420 --> 00:06:23,930 seek higher intelligences and all this 140 00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:25,430 other stuff let me ask you the question 141 00:06:28,650 --> 00:06:27,110 which would be obvious here I'm gonna 142 00:06:31,570 --> 00:06:28,660 put you on the spot have you taken it 143 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:31,580 ayahuasca no I haven't okay 144 00:06:36,580 --> 00:06:34,010 have you watched people who have taken 145 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:36,590 it and seeing what they undergo no I've 146 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:39,650 never been around an ayahuasca ceremony 147 00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:42,800 I have dabbled with the active 148 00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:44,750 ingredient which is dimethyltryptamine 149 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:49,270 and in its most potent form which was 150 00:06:56,530 --> 00:06:53,360 gathered from Bufo Valerius which is a 151 00:06:57,190 --> 00:06:56,540 psychedelic frog that actually lives 152 00:06:59,170 --> 00:06:57,200 down around you 153 00:07:01,600 --> 00:06:59,180 Jean you know it's the largest frog in 154 00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:01,610 North America and you can milk you can 155 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:04,700 milk them and it produces a very pure 156 00:07:08,170 --> 00:07:06,770 form of DMT which is the active 157 00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:08,180 ingredient in ayahuasca I don't care 158 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:11,270 what dr. Sauter says he obviously hasn't 159 00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:13,370 done his homework on that okay so you 160 00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:15,440 can accept his underground research it 161 00:07:21,340 --> 00:07:17,630 may be his knowledge of drugs and their 162 00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:21,350 impact and sources is a bit wanting well 163 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:24,560 yeah I I think if anybody claims that 164 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:26,210 DMT is not the active ingredient in 165 00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:28,570 ayahuasca obviously ayahuasca is a 166 00:07:33,610 --> 00:07:31,190 combination of plants one which allows 167 00:07:35,380 --> 00:07:33,620 the body to absorb the 168 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:35,390 dimethyltryptamine into the system it's 169 00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:38,930 an MAO inhibitor but he definitely needs 170 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:40,430 to do a little research on that because 171 00:07:46,570 --> 00:07:42,770 I have done some research on the subject 172 00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:46,580 and and DMT is a very powerful shamanic 173 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:49,790 substance it is not for everybody some 174 00:07:54,550 --> 00:07:51,050 people could be pushed over the edge 175 00:07:56,770 --> 00:07:54,560 with it and it should not be done as as 176 00:07:58,660 --> 00:07:56,780 Richard did mentioned as a recreational 177 00:08:03,060 --> 00:07:58,670 drug it is not that at all it is a 178 00:08:05,980 --> 00:08:03,070 sacred very serious compound that has 179 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:05,990 serious repercussions if you don't 180 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:10,250 address the scenario correctly it's not 181 00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:13,010 for college students to hang out in 182 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:16,070 their dorms and consume this stuff no no 183 00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:19,280 it's not then no drugs are today we have 184 00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:22,070 a person who's coming on our show who by 185 00:08:26,830 --> 00:08:24,830 the way is a professional skeptic you 186 00:08:30,340 --> 00:08:26,840 know this will be fun right it's 187 00:08:32,530 --> 00:08:30,350 Benjamin Bradford Benjamin Radford is 188 00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:32,540 the managing editor of The Skeptical 189 00:08:38,170 --> 00:08:35,870 Inquirer magazine okay all right he's 190 00:08:39,940 --> 00:08:38,180 part of psycho so he's one of the people 191 00:08:42,130 --> 00:08:39,950 that sometimes we regard them as the 192 00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:42,140 enemy and he has a book out here called 193 00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:45,110 tracking the Chupacabra the vampire 194 00:08:51,340 --> 00:08:48,910 beast in fact fiction and folklore so 195 00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:51,350 it's a fascinating little book it's 196 00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:54,320 about less than 200 pages which compared 197 00:09:01,120 --> 00:08:56,780 to say a Harry Potter book is pretty 198 00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:01,130 small you know and the paragraphs are 199 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:02,510 spread out a little bit so it's not a 200 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:04,250 big book lots of illustrations you can 201 00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:06,890 go through it in just a few hours but he 202 00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:08,510 makes a

00:14:55,820 heavily interested in the paranormal 322 00:15:01,700 --> 00:14:58,950 might look the scan sat having a skeptic 323 00:15:03,620 --> 00:15:01,710 amongst our team because then as we know 324 00:15:06,170 --> 00:15:03,630 you're the editor of The Skeptical 325 00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:06,180 Inquirer magazine right actually deputy 326 00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:07,830 editor but yes I've been involved with 327 00:15:11,860 --> 00:15:09,420 them for 12 years now 328 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:11,870 okay what got you into so-called 329 00:15:18,290 --> 00:15:14,490 skeptical movement to explore all these 330 00:15:20,210 --> 00:15:18,300 subjects well you know I grew up having 331 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:20,220 a fascination with all sorts of 332 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:21,690 mysteries and the unexplained the 333 00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:23,850 paranormal so when I was a teenager I 334 00:15:29,150 --> 00:15:26,940 went and got books on you know UFOs and 335 00:15:30,740 --> 00:15:29,160 and Bermuda Triangle and Bigfoot and 336 00:15:33,410 --> 00:15:30,750 this and that and the other and I was 337 00:15:35,390 --> 00:15:33,420 fascinated by these things but I was 338 00:15:36,470 --> 00:15:35,400 also kind of disappointed when I read 339 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:36,480 them because there was very little 340 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:39,090 actual investigation in most cases when 341 00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:40,650 I picked up books or read magazines 342 00:15:42,790 --> 00:15:42,240 about these these mysterious or 343 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:42,800 paranormal 344 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:45,290 vyx almost invariably they were just 345 00:15:49,690 --> 00:15:47,690 simply repeating stories and stories are 346 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:49,700 fine but I wanted to get more of the 347 00:15:53,019 --> 00:15:51,290 actual investigation I want to know well 348 00:15:54,970 --> 00:15:53,029 you know who who interviewed this 349 00:15:57,250 --> 00:15:54,980 eyewitness who verified that this 350 00:16:00,400 --> 00:15:57,260 particular fact is true so I kind of got 351 00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:00,410 dissatisfied in my in my teens and early 352 00:16:05,769 --> 00:16:03,740 20s with with the lack of a real serious 353 00:16:08,470 --> 00:16:05,779 legitimate investigation in paranormal 354 00:16:10,780 --> 00:16:08,480 topics and so one of the things that I 355 00:16:12,460 --> 00:16:10,790 wanted to do after I got my my degree 356 00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:12,470 and sort of began working with skeptical 357 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:15,110 Inquirer magazine was to to do some 358 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:16,970 investigations I said to myself well if 359 00:16:20,860 --> 00:16:19,250 if I can't count on other people to do 360 00:16:23,019 --> 00:16:20,870 good quality science-based 361 00:16:25,420 --> 00:16:23,029 investigations well then damn it I'll do 362 00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:25,430 it and I worked with myself and of 363 00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:27,110 course John Nichol who's the senior 364 00:16:30,370 --> 00:16:28,430 research fellow there and other people 365 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:30,380 as well and that's sort of what launched 366 00:16:34,630 --> 00:16:31,490 me into doing in these investigations 367 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:34,640 and and so sort of more broadly applying 368 00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:37,370 science and skepticism to all topics 369 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:40,160 whether it's paranormal or not fast 370 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:42,170 question do you believe there's any 371 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:45,290 reality to any paranormal event anywhere 372 00:16:51,550 --> 00:16:49,730 any how fast question long answer you 373 00:16:53,490 --> 00:16:51,560 know I if you're gonna say is it 374 00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:53,500 paranormal I mean caramel by definition 375 00:16:58,930 --> 00:16:56,120 depending what definition using is 376 00:17:01,420 --> 00:16:58,940 beyond the normal so I would have to say 377 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:01,430 do I believe that that there are there 378 00:17:06,730 --> 00:17:04,010 are supernatural things I believe that 379 00:17:08,409 --> 00:17:06,740 there there might be but I I think that 380 00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:08,419 you need to use science and evidence to 381 00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:10,370 find them if they're in need out there 382 00:17:16,290 --> 00:17:13,520 when it comes to UFOs we have all this 383 00:17:18,909 --> 00:17:16,300 supposed evidence out there how do we 384 00:17:21,790 --> 00:17:18,919 basically end the controversy there how 385 00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:21,800 do we actually find out what's really 386 00:17:26,049 --> 00:17:24,230 going on because we can say wow this 387 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:26,059 isn't real for whatever reason but then 388 00:17:30,159 --> 00:17:27,410 we have the photographs and the radar 389 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:30,169 cases and all that how do we actually 390 00:17:37,049 --> 00:17:32,570 get a real investigation going without 391 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:37,059 any preconceptions which is so important 392 00:17:41,020 --> 00:17:39,650 things in some ways it's similar to the 393 00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:41,030 situation when you're looking for 394 00:17:45,220 --> 00:17:43,520 evidence for Bigfoot you know you have I 395 00:17:47,140 --> 00:17:45,230 witness sightings you have reports you 396 00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:47,150 have some fuzzy photos you have this and 397 00:17:51,669 --> 00:17:49,760 that and you also have you have reports 398 00:17:53,100 --> 00:17:51,679 by credible eyewitnesses you know people 399 00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:53,110 who are not stupid they're not crazy 400 00:17:58,140 --> 00:17:56,320 they're sincere believable people 401 00:17:59,580 --> 00:17:58,150 and the reporting thing and the problem 402 00:18:01,950 --> 00:17:59,590 is you know how do you get beyond this 403 00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:01,960 baseline of evidence that hasn't gotten 404 00:18:07,290 --> 00:18:04,710 anybody anywhere so far and ultimately 405 00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:07,300 you know if these things exist then 406 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:08,740 there should be hard evidence for them 407 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:10,930 if weather ghosts exist or Bigfoot 408 00:18:14,970 --> 00:18:13,210 exists or extraterrestrial craft exist 409 00:18:16,830 --> 00:18:14,980 or chupacabras exist for that matter 410 00:18:19,020 --> 00:18:16,840 this shouldn't be a matter of just 411 00:18:20,580 --> 00:18:19,030 supposition and eyewitness accounts 412 00:18:23,070 --> 00:18:20,590 there should be hard evidence somewhere 413 00:18:24,450 --> 00:18:23,080 and so we would need hard evidence we 414 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:24,460 would need some sort of something you 415 00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:27,490 can test forensically and and get that 416 00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:30,070 okay well if someone sees a ghost okay 417 00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:33,670 you have a visual report I saw something 418 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:36,130 and you know it looks like my dead 419 00:18:40,890 --> 00:18:37,690 grandmother or something doesn't matter 420 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:40,900 what it is mm-hmm how then can you go 421 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:42,850 about proving what someone can only 422 00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:45,010 attest to visually I mean you'll take 423 00:18:49,230 --> 00:18:47,080 that testimony if they say well John 424 00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:49,240 Smith came into the grocery store and 425 00:18:57,120 --> 00:18:53,080 shot the cashier and killed the cashier 426 00:19:00,030 --> 00:18:57,130 John Smith identify him in a lineup he 427 00:19:03,780 --> 00:19:00,040 gets convicted of murder I saw a ghost 428 00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:03,790 okay an apparition disappeared in front 429 00:19:08,070 --> 00:19:06,280 of my eyes you don't believe that but 430 00:19:11,310 --> 00:19:08,080 you believe the testimony in a murder 431 00:19:13,470 --> 00:19:11,320 case no I don't believe that at all in 432 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:13,480 fact I take eyewitness accounts very 433 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:15,010 seriously and I interview eyewitnesses 434 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:16,690 all the time who tell me about different 435 00:19:21,090 --> 00:19:18,970 things that they have seen so to my mind 436 00:19:22,890 --> 00:19:21,100 that the issue is not do you discount of 437 00:19:24,660 --> 00:19:22,900 witness testimony because of course you 438 00:19:27,090 --> 00:19:24,670 shouldn't and you can't but what you do 439 00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:27,100 do is you you use that not as as 440 00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:29,950 evidence in and of itself but as a step 441 00:19:34,410 --> 00:19:32,080 towards evidence so for example if 442 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:34,420 someone says they saw a ghost first of 443 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:36,250 all I'd ask them how do they know 444 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:37,690 specific was the ghost you know what 445 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:39,610 what characteristics led them to 446 00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:41,290 conclude that it was a ghost I'm not 447 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:43,000 saying it was there wasn't but that's 448 00:19:47,070 --> 00:19:45,250 that's not an interloping question but 449 00:19:49,170 --> 00:19:47,080 then the question would become well what 450 00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:49,180 else might it have been what if for 451 00:19:54,270 --> 00:19:51,100 example the person saw something out of 452 00:19:56,190 --> 00:19:54,280 the corner eye in in the store or 453 00:19:57,870 --> 00:19:56,200 somewhere else and there was a video 454 00:20:00,090 --> 00:19:57,880 camera and the video camera showed 455 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:00,100 nothing at all if the video camera 456 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:01,930 doesn't show anything that doesn't 457 00:20:05,970 --> 00:20:04,210 disprove the person's experience but it 458 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:05,980 does provide the second Avenue of 459 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:08,530 Investigation so I wouldn't discount 460 00:20:10,940 --> 00:20:08,970 any of what 461 00:20:14,299 --> 00:20:10,950 experience but it's important to realize 462 00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:14,309 that my witnesses can be and often are 463 00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:16,710 wrong you know you can use the example 464 00:20:21,110 --> 00:20:19,380 of police lineups well there are 465 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:21,120 literally dozens and hundreds of cases 466 00:20:24,799 --> 00:20:22,650 of people who have been convicted and 467 00:20:27,710 --> 00:20:24,809 sent to prison sometimes on death row 468 00:20:29,330 --> 00:20:27,720 based on faulty eyewitness testimony and 469 00:20:31,399 --> 00:20:29,340 they've been cleared through DNA 470 00:20:33,529 --> 00:20:31,409 analysis okay you always have another 471 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:33,539 kind of evidence we have the DNA we 472 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:35,250 might have other witnesses we might have 473 00:20:39,649 --> 00:20:38,010 an alibi that you can check to see well 474 00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:39,659 this person couldn't have been at the 475 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:42,000 grocery store when you thought he was he 476 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:43,770 had to be somewhere else this is the 477 00:20:46,010 --> 00:20:44,250 proof 478 00:20:47,690 --> 00:20:46,020 so hopefully you get that person to quit 479 00:20:52,330 --> 00:20:47,700 and get that person off in the case of a 480 00:20:54,409 --> 00:20:52,340 ghost you can't touch it I don't think 481 00:20:56,690 --> 00:20:54,419 you probably know there are people that 482 00:20:59,600 --> 00:20:56,700 disagree with you I've I have talked to 483 00:21:02,450 --> 00:20:59,610 people who said they felt ghosts if your 484 00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:02,460 belief is that you don't basically go up 485 00:21:07,279 --> 00:21:04,200 to the ghost and shake their hand you 486 00:21:09,740 --> 00:21:07,289 will feel a presence something is here 487 00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:09,750 and now I see it and now it's gone so I 488 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:12,510 felt it I saw it but I can't touch it I 489 00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:14,970 can't get the fingerprint what 490 00:21:17,990 --> 00:21:15,870 distinction you're making between 491 00:21:20,990 --> 00:21:18,000 feeling and touching feeling in the 492 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:21,000 sense of I sense a presence okay I sense 493 00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:22,890 something is weird something's happening 494 00:21:27,049 --> 00:21:25,110 I see the ghost and maybe the ghost says 495 00:21:29,299 --> 00:21:27,059 something or not I don't know okay so 496 00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:29,309 how do I go about proving that that's 497 00:21:34,580 --> 00:21:31,440 robbed that's the problem how do I prove 498 00:21:36,740 --> 00:21:34,590 what I saw is what I saw there's a 499 00:21:39,470 --> 00:21:36,750 couple things first of all you know as 500 00:21:41,330 --> 00:21:39,480 you know the issue comes down a lot of 501 00:21:43,940 --> 00:21:41,340 times to psychology because people can 502 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:43,950 sense things that don't exist one 503 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:45,750 example that I give is a friend of mine 504 00:21:49,580 --> 00:21:47,730 told me I had known him for several 505 00:21:52,159 --> 00:21:49,590 years and I noticed that he never he 506 00:21:53,450 --> 00:21:52,169 never came to visit my house I didn't 507 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:53,460 know if it was you know because I had Bo 508 00:21:57,020 --> 00:21:55,200 or he didn't like me whatever else and 509 00:21:58,909 --> 00:21:57,030 he finally told me that the reason he 510 00:22:01,310 --> 00:21:58,919 never came to visit me was because I 511 00:22:03,350 --> 00:22:01,320 live across the river and he had panic 512 00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:03,360 attacks about crossing a bridge and in 513 00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:05,370 this case I mean that it was very real 514 00:22:08,899 --> 00:22:07,169 he had panic attacks he had sweaty you 515 00:22:11,659 --> 00:22:08,909 could feel the pressure on him but it 516 00:22:13,010 --> 00:22:11,669 was it was in his head it wasn't it had 517 00:22:15,470 --> 00:22:13,020 nothing to do with the external reality 518 00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:15,480 so you know keep just because someone 519 00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:16,950 senses something 520 00:22:20,510 --> 00:22:18,809 it doesn't necessarily correspond with 521 00:22:22,540 --> 00:22:20,520 anything real and that's what I said 522 00:22:24,850 --> 00:22:22,550 that's the whole point being exactly 523 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:24,860 how do you quantify the reality that's 524 00:22:28,810 --> 00:22:27,170 of course the dilemma we try to explore 525 00:22:30,370 --> 00:22:28,820 in the paranormal is how to take all 526 00:22:32,890 --> 00:22:30,380 these experiences that people have had 527 00:22:34,570 --> 00:22:32,900 and see if we can make some sense or 528 00:22:37,030 --> 00:22:34,580 maybe we can't make sense of them maybe 529 00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:37,040 they are almost like you know religious 530 00:22:40,750 --> 00:22:38,630 miracles that things happen but we 531 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:40,760 really can't prove it except for the 532 00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:43,370 eyewitness testimony and there you go we 533 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:45,440 have Benjamin Radford the book is 534 00:22:50,050 --> 00:22:47,690 tracking

Steinberg you're 636 00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:36,050 in the para cast so now we move to the 637 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:38,870 book what for those who haven't explored 638 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:41,840 the subject is a chupacabra my latest 639 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:43,610 book yes the chupacabra well the 640 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:46,610 chupacabra it's it's the world's third 641 00:27:51,430 --> 00:27:49,130 best known monster after a Bigfoot in 642 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:51,440 Loch Ness monster and it's probably this 643 00:27:56,919 --> 00:27:53,330 world's second best known vampire after 644 00:27:59,950 --> 00:27:56,929 Dracula it's said to to suck blood out 645 00:28:01,630 --> 00:27:59,960 of its prey it's a vampire and Shuba 646 00:28:03,100 --> 00:28:01,640 cover means goat sucker in Spanish 647 00:28:05,410 --> 00:28:03,110 because ghosts are supposed to be its 648 00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:05,420 favorite prey even though it's been said 649 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:07,370 to kill and and take blood out of 650 00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:10,850 domestic pets and cattle and pigs and 651 00:28:15,580 --> 00:28:13,510 then why stalk and know things it's 652 00:28:17,950 --> 00:28:15,590 originally came from Puerto Rico in 653 00:28:20,350 --> 00:28:17,960 Latin America and in 1995 was first 654 00:28:22,810 --> 00:28:20,360 sighted then and since that time it's 655 00:28:25,150 --> 00:28:22,820 appeared in several different forms 656 00:28:28,060 --> 00:28:25,160 around the world primarily in the North 657 00:28:29,380 --> 00:28:28,070 and South America but it's now no it's 658 00:28:31,210 --> 00:28:29,390 now known worldwide I mean it's 659 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:31,220 essentially a global phenomenon let's 660 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:33,050 look through the history how far back 661 00:28:37,210 --> 00:28:34,850 can you go and do in this kind of 662 00:28:41,020 --> 00:28:37,220 research well that's a great question 663 00:28:42,490 --> 00:28:41,030 because when I began my research and I 664 00:28:44,110 --> 00:28:42,500 should just point out that I've been 665 00:28:45,850 --> 00:28:44,120 investigating these sorts of cryptids 666 00:28:47,650 --> 00:28:45,860 and critters illogical things for for 667 00:28:50,049 --> 00:28:47,660 many years now I I co-wrote a book 668 00:28:52,299 --> 00:28:50,059 called lake monster mysteries in 2007 669 00:28:54,270 --> 00:28:52,309 that dealt with Lake Monsters and have 670 00:28:56,530 --> 00:28:54,280 also done stuff on Mothman and 671 00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:56,540 chupacabra and Bigfoot know things as 672 00:29:00,340 --> 00:28:58,250 well so I already had sort of 673 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:00,350 pre-existing framework for news news 674 00:29:05,169 --> 00:29:03,200 analyses and when I looked into it I had 675 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:05,179 always sort of assumed that the 676 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:06,370 chupacabra had been around for decades 677 00:29:11,020 --> 00:29:09,170 you know if you look at the lore of a 678 00:29:11,710 --> 00:29:11,030 Bigfoot for example or the Loch Ness 679 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:11,720 monster 680 00:29:16,780 --> 00:29:14,690 those claimed to go back in some cases 681 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:16,790 centuries if you're gonna if you believe 682 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:19,370 I like old Native American stories and 683 00:29:24,100 --> 00:29:22,490 tales but in the case of chupacabra what 684 00:29:27,130 --> 00:29:24,110 I found that it really only dates back 685 00:29:29,850 --> 00:29:27,140 to 1995 it's a very very new creature 686 00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:29,860 it's only been around for 15 or 16 years 687 00:29:34,090 --> 00:29:32,480 so that was one of the things that 688 00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:34,100 really intrigued me about the monster oh 689 00:29:37,390 --> 00:29:36,320 as well well hold on here I mean how you 690 00:29:39,670 --> 00:29:37,400 know real 691 00:29:41,950 --> 00:29:39,680 real biological zoological creatures 692 00:29:43,750 --> 00:29:41,960 don't appear out of nowhere I mean it's 693 00:29:45,940 --> 00:29:43,760 not like you know the leopard suddenly 694 00:29:48,100 --> 00:29:45,950 appeared you know in 1983 New Jersey 695 00:29:50,110 --> 00:29:48,110 that was a real puzzling thing was 696 00:29:51,310 --> 00:29:50,120 multiplying why weren't there reports of 697 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:51,320 chupacabras 698 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:54,170 in the 50s and 60s and 70s and even 699 00:29:57,730 --> 00:29:56,810 earlier but there just weren't or at 700 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:57,740 least they weren't beneath that I've 701 00:30:02,140 --> 00:29:59,840 been able to find what caused it to 702 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:02,150 happen when it happened where did it 703 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:05,690 start so you go back to the original 704 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:08,690 chupacabra which began in August of 1995 705 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:11,210 in Puerto Rico in the summer of Konoe 706 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:12,890 Venus outside at the capital of San Juan 707 00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:16,850 and a woman named Madeline Tolentino was 708 00:30:20,470 --> 00:30:18,590 the first person to see the chupacabra 709 00:30:23,770 --> 00:30:20,480 and she gave a very very detailed 710 00:30:26,260 --> 00:30:23,780 description of what she saw and she said 711 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:26,270 it was three to five feet tall and was 712 00:30:32,500 --> 00:30:29,690 bipedal had had row of distant spikes 713 00:30:35,410 --> 00:30:32,510 going down the back it had long arms and 714 00:30:38,170 --> 00:30:35,420 legs and sort of distinctive red or 715 00:30:40,540 --> 00:30:38,180 black wraparound eyes no nose to speak 716 00:30:43,180 --> 00:30:40,550 of smaller absent ears things like that 717 00:30:46,590 --> 00:30:43,190 and she just is a very very detailed 718 00:30:50,530 --> 00:30:46,600 description which soon became the 719 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:50,540 standard template classic example the 720 00:30:55,870 --> 00:30:54,290 chupacabra that went worldwide and and 721 00:30:58,510 --> 00:30:55,880 it was just it's just you know basically 722 00:31:01,240 --> 00:30:58,520 what happened was that that her her 723 00:31:03,910 --> 00:31:01,250 sighting was sort of co-opted by UFO 724 00:31:05,110 --> 00:31:03,920 believers in Puerto Rico there's a very 725 00:31:07,420 --> 00:31:05,120 strong as you probably know there's very 726 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:07,430 strong UFO believer presence in Puerto 727 00:31:14,530 --> 00:31:11,450 Rico and one of the main people there a 728 00:31:17,350 --> 00:31:14,540 man named Jorge Martine heard her story 729 00:31:19,870 --> 00:31:17,360 and created a drawing based on her 730 00:31:21,610 --> 00:31:19,880 depiction and from there just basically 731 00:31:23,620 --> 00:31:21,620 went all of the world through the 732 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:23,630 internet so that was the original type 733 00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:25,250 of chupacabra and that was seen in 734 00:31:32,770 --> 00:31:29,120 primarily Puerto Rico in 1995 1996 1997 735 00:31:34,150 --> 00:31:32,780 and by 2000 it wasn't seen so much I 736 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:34,160 mean there was sighting here too but it 737 00:31:41,230 --> 00:31:37,510 mostly faded away and moved to Chile 738 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:41,240 well well that's in some cases in more 739 00:31:45,670 --> 00:31:43,850 totality there was claims that that you 740 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:45,680 know there was a rash of 741 00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:49,250 animal deaths in Chile 742 00:31:54,010 --> 00:31:51,830 although in my research people weren't 743 00:31:56,230 --> 00:31:54,020 necessarily describing the original 744 00:31:58,420 --> 00:31:56,240 chupacabra in in those accounts 745 00:32:01,720 --> 00:31:58,430 primarily people were saying that that's 746 00:32:04,750 --> 00:32:01,730 something presumably the chupacabra had 747 00:32:05,620 --> 00:32:04,760 attacked the animals but because this 748 00:32:08,740 --> 00:32:05,630 was done overnight 749 00:32:11,740 --> 00:32:08,750 and in the unit excuse me for 750 00:32:13,420 --> 00:32:11,750 interrupting I disagree with you on that 751 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:13,430 I've done quite a bit of research into 752 00:32:18,430 --> 00:32:15,290 this subject and there were quite a 753 00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:18,440 number of reports in April May in June 754 00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:21,950 of 2000 and some of them described very 755 00:32:29,170 --> 00:32:25,430 very similar there were very similar 756 00:32:30,610 --> 00:32:29,180 descriptions to the Puerto Rico version 757 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:30,620 of this and we're going to get into the 758 00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:33,770 other version so obviously and and it 759 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:35,510 was described as having a row of spines 760 00:32:40,060 --> 00:32:38,090 down its back there were a number of 761 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:40,070 reports that described leathery type 762 00:32:43,810 --> 00:32:40,850 wings 763 00:32:47,890 --> 00:32:43,820 other reports described it able to leap 764 00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:47,900 in a very abnormal way which also we 765 00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:51,080 found in some of the early reports from 766 00:32:57,460 --> 00:32:53,600 Puerto Rico so I mean it's not 767 00:32:59,140 --> 00:32:57,470 exclusively a description of a what 768 00:33:00,910 --> 00:32:59,150 appears to be just a Puerto Rican 769 00:33:02,620 --> 00:33:00,920 version of this there have been other 770 00:33:07,510 --> 00:33:02,630 descriptions of it from elsewhere I just 771 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:07,520 wanted to point that out I didn't mean 772 00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:09,530 to suggest that the Puerto Rican version 773 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:11,600 chupacabra hadn't been seen in Latin 774 00:33:15,670 --> 00:33:13,850 America because it was seen and reported 775 00:33:17,770 --> 00:33:15,680 in Mexico and Chile and Argentina and 776 00:33:20,230 --> 00:33:17,780 elsewhere so yeah I mean I there's 777 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:20,240 there's I don't I don't you correct it 778 00:33:26,980 --> 00:33:23,210 did kind of fade out in Puerto Rico yeah 779 00:33:28,990 --> 00:33:26,990 and you know it sort of reappeared in 780 00:33:30,550 --> 00:33:29,000 various other places and and you know 781 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:30,560 when you'd back go back and look at the 782 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:32,170 original descriptions of the chupacabra 783 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:35,690 the the one that Tolentino gave out is 784 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:39,290 the most popular and most the you know 785 00:33:42,670 --> 00:33:40,850 best known to patient but there as you 786 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:42,680 point out there a wide variety some 787 00:33:45,130 --> 00:33:44,090 people said it have a tail some people 788 00:33:46,930 --> 00:33:45,140 said doesn't have a tail 789 00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:46,940 so people were ordered wings some people 790 00:33:51,220 --> 00:33:49,070 said didn't have wings so there was 791 00:33:54,100 --> 00:33:51,230 actually quite a bit of variation within 792 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:54,110 that that original prototype yeah and 793 00:33:58,330 --> 00:33:55,730 it's also important I think to point out 794 00:33:58,930 --> 00:33:58,340 that this is almost exclusively a Latin 795 00:34:03,310 --> 00:33:58,940 American 796 00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:03,320 a country sort of a phenomenon although 797 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:05,870 I think about two or three years ago 798 00:34:10,690 --> 00:34:07,730 there were some reports that may have 799 00:34:12,850 --> 00:34:10,700 filtered out of Russia but I think by 800 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:12,860 and large these reports are pretty much 801 00:34:18,180 --> 00:34:15,650 exclusively from from Spanish American 802 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:18,190 speaking or spanish-speaking countries 803 00:34:23,050 --> 00:34:20,450 the canine types which is a whole 804 00:34:25,990 --> 00:34:23,060 different subject I think what continue 805 00:34:27,790 --> 00:34:26,000 again sorry right no no you're quite 806 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:27,800 right the the chupacabra is primarily 807 00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:29,810 limited to spanish-speaking areas with 808 00:34:33,670 --> 00:34:31,820 the exception of Brazil where they speak 809 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:33,680 Portuguese and there were some reports 810 00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:36,770 of the chupacabra release date it's 811 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:39,020 presumably similar related creature 812 00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:43,130 called Obito in Brazil as well so yeah 813 00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:45,260 okay the book is called tracking the 814 00:34:50,350 --> 00:34:48,110 chupacabra and I guess the question I'm 815 00:34:54,670 --> 00:34:50,360 gonna ask you before we go further all 816 00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:54,680 these reports specifically in a special 817 00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:56,960 part of the world for the most part do 818 00:35:01,330 --> 00:34:58,330 you think that they were seeing 819 00:35:02,830 --> 00:35:01,340 conventional animals of some kind or do 820 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:02,840 you see any evidence at all for 821 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:05,090 weirdness here referring to the original 822 00:35:10,270 --> 00:35:08,000 type of chupacabra then the sequel's 823 00:35:12,220 --> 00:35:10,280 well the things with eyewitness account 824 00:35:13,660 --> 00:35:12,230 is that you can just lump them all 825 00:35:15,550 --> 00:35:13,670 together and say there's one blanket 826 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:15,560 explanation for them because because 827 00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:17,810 there isn't there's a wide variety of 828 00:35:22,540 --> 00:35:19,730 things that people may have seen some 829 00:35:24,910 --> 00:35:22,550 people may have seen in your original 830 00:35:27,190 --> 00:35:24,920 original Oh Riko in the in the 90s 831 00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:27,200 people may have seen residence monkeys 832 00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:30,560 was one explanation dogs strange things 833 00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:32,540 at night so I don't think that there's 834 00:35:35,980 --> 00:35:34,310 one blanket explanation for all of them 835 00:35:39,250 --> 00:35:35,990 I think that some of the reports were 836 00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:39,260 clearly fictional I came across lots and 837 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:41,710 lots of accounts that just just simply 838 00:35:47,230 --> 00:35:43,970 simply had no credibility to them 839 00:35:48,850 --> 00:35:47,240 whatsoever other accounts were quite 840 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:48,860 believable someone saw something out of 841 00:35:52,660 --> 00:35:50,330 the corner Ryan and who

some people who maybe you're just making 979 00:41:50,170 --> 00:41:48,829 it all up how do you know that I don't 980 00:41:53,230 --> 00:41:50,180 assume that people are making it up at 981 00:41:54,940 --> 00:41:53,240 all in fact my my assumption in this 982 00:41:57,130 --> 00:41:54,950 investigation as in all my 983 00:41:59,920 --> 00:41:57,140 investigations is that most people are 984 00:42:02,079 --> 00:41:59,930 sincere genuine eyewitnesses most people 985 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:02,089 really believed they saw something so I 986 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:04,010 found the very very few cases where 987 00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:05,810 people were actually making it up I 988 00:42:10,089 --> 00:42:07,609 found many more cases where people 989 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:10,099 simply were reporting things that they 990 00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:12,890 that they that you know they they saw 991 00:42:16,450 --> 00:42:14,270 something out of the corn there I their 992 00:42:18,579 --> 00:42:16,460 eyes sore and their you know their minds 993 00:42:19,870 --> 00:42:18,589 sort of filled in the details well we 994 00:42:22,420 --> 00:42:19,880 also have hundreds and hundreds of 995 00:42:23,859 --> 00:42:22,430 animal carcasses as well which I'm sure 996 00:42:25,930 --> 00:42:23,869 we're going to talk about at some point 997 00:42:28,990 --> 00:42:25,940 but but you do have physical evidence of 998 00:42:32,559 --> 00:42:29,000 some some sort of predatory or presence 999 00:42:35,140 --> 00:42:32,569 so we we have to keep that in mind so 1000 00:42:37,270 --> 00:42:35,150 yeah absolutely and of course you know 1001 00:42:39,730 --> 00:42:37,280 predation has been as plagued mankind 1002 00:42:41,079 --> 00:42:39,740 for for millennia so there's there's no 1003 00:42:43,809 --> 00:42:41,089 doubt that there are animals that attack 1004 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:43,819 other animals yep okay so someone sees 1005 00:42:48,490 --> 00:42:45,290 something in the corner of their eye and 1006 00:42:51,370 --> 00:42:48,500 they confabulate something that's maybe 1007 00:42:53,950 --> 00:42:51,380 we're so what might they have seen other 1008 00:42:55,690 --> 00:42:53,960 than something weird or paranormal or 1009 00:42:58,270 --> 00:42:55,700 whatever Oh again it depends on the 1010 00:43:00,359 --> 00:42:58,280 specific case you know there was a taxi 1011 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:00,369 driver that reported that he saw some 1012 00:43:06,099 --> 00:43:02,810 bipedal winged creature running along 1013 00:43:08,170 --> 00:43:06,109 his taxi at night I have no idea what 1014 00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:08,180 that was it could have been a hoax it 1015 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:10,730 could have been I have no idea so again 1016 00:43:13,630 --> 00:43:12,170 you have to go about the specific case 1017 00:43:15,309 --> 00:43:13,640 it's kind of hard for me to give you a 1018 00:43:17,380 --> 00:43:15,319 blanket explanation okay well let's look 1019 00:43:18,819 --> 00:43:17,390 at that one girl so I don't know it 1020 00:43:20,290 --> 00:43:18,829 could have been something else I don't 1021 00:43:22,870 --> 00:43:20,300 know what it might have been its 1022 00:43:24,609 --> 00:43:22,880 mistaken he saw something that was 1023 00:43:26,410 --> 00:43:24,619 fairly normal at night of course the 1024 00:43:27,910 --> 00:43:26,420 vision isn't very good you don't really 1025 00:43:30,849 --> 00:43:27,920 get a clear indication of what you're 1026 00:43:32,890 --> 00:43:30,859 seeing so he you know saw something and 1027 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:32,900 made it up made up the rest of the story 1028 00:43:37,109 --> 00:43:33,490 what 1029 00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:37,119 lot of times is that is that the eye 1030 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:39,250 witnesses themselves are actually much 1031 00:43:43,530 --> 00:43:41,170 more reserved in their accounts than 1032 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:43,540 what you see it in the in the news media 1033 00:43:49,530 --> 00:43:46,930 I encountered many cases where it seemed 1034 00:43:51,270 --> 00:43:49,540 that the reporters who are writing that 1035 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:51,280 the stories either for illah cetera 1036 00:43:56,340 --> 00:43:54,010 which is a tabloid and in Puerto Rico or 1037 00:43:57,870 --> 00:43:56,350 elsewhere they sort of spiced up the 1038 00:43:59,970 --> 00:43:57,880 story I don't not gonna say they they 1039 00:44:01,770 --> 00:43:59,980 fabricated it but certainly they they 1040 00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:01,780 added some details and sort of made it 1041 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:03,250 sound more dramatic than the openness 1042 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:05,890 themselves made it out to be those dang 1043 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:09,010 reporters for those dang reporters okay 1044 00:44:14,130 --> 00:44:11,290 so in this particular situation here it 1045 00:44:15,990 --> 00:44:14,140 was the press that made a big deal of it 1046 00:44:17,460 --> 00:44:16,000 in case the chupacabra there are 1047 00:44:20,340 --> 00:44:17,470 actually two different factors one of 1048 00:44:22,859 --> 00:44:20,350 them was again the co-opting by UFO 1049 00:44:24,990 --> 00:44:22,869 believers in Puerto Rico of Tolentino as 1050 00:44:27,750 --> 00:44:25,000 original description because they 1051 00:44:30,210 --> 00:44:27,760 believed that the chupacabra was 1052 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:30,220 probably an extraterrestrial or at least 1053 00:44:35,370 --> 00:44:32,170 connection with extraterrestrials the 1054 00:44:37,470 --> 00:44:35,380 second thing was so the UFO people 1055 00:44:40,050 --> 00:44:37,480 people who believe in UFOs or 1056 00:44:43,290 --> 00:44:40,060 investigate UFOs you're suggesting here 1057 00:44:46,109 --> 00:44:43,300 that they will make these cases seem to 1058 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:46,119 be something related to the UFO belief 1059 00:44:51,349 --> 00:44:48,130 that some Nova Jane really you don't 1060 00:44:54,870 --> 00:44:51,359 think that that could ever happen do you 1061 00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:54,880 know what I'm saying you know that's a 1062 00:45:01,140 --> 00:44:57,010 real major problem in this field is all 1063 00:45:03,450 --> 00:45:01,150 three of us know yeah I there are many 1064 00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:03,460 many different ideas about what the 1065 00:45:06,630 --> 00:45:05,050 chupacabra is some people believe it's 1066 00:45:08,580 --> 00:45:06,640 an alien pet some people believe it's 1067 00:45:10,740 --> 00:45:08,590 the results of a top-secret US 1068 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:10,750 government unit genetic experiments 1069 00:45:14,340 --> 00:45:12,250 people think that it's the cause is that 1070 00:45:16,650 --> 00:45:14,350 the AIDS virus some people believe that 1071 00:45:18,930 --> 00:45:16,660 it's it's a sign of Armageddon and the 1072 00:45:21,180 --> 00:45:18,940 end times and opinions a dime-a-dozen 1073 00:45:23,580 --> 00:45:21,190 mmm and we can believe anything we want 1074 00:45:27,810 --> 00:45:23,590 but right now we're assuming then that 1075 00:45:29,359 --> 00:45:27,820 in some cases the media is exaggerating 1076 00:45:31,859 --> 00:45:29,369 something that might be very simple 1077 00:45:34,740 --> 00:45:31,869 misidentification of some kind of 1078 00:45:39,090 --> 00:45:34,750 conventional creature simple explanation 1079 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:39,100 but somebody a news reporter or his or 1080 00:45:44,310 --> 00:45:41,890 her editors they embellish the event so 1081 00:45:46,470 --> 00:45:44,320 it becomes something more than it was is 1082 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:46,480 that the case 1083 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:48,130 what you find it when you go back and 1084 00:45:52,290 --> 00:45:50,530 research the original accounts the 1085 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:52,300 original tabloid accounts in Puerto Rico 1086 00:45:59,540 --> 00:45:57,130 in 1996-1997 many of the stories not all 1087 00:46:02,040 --> 00:45:59,550 of them and many of them are clearly 1088 00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:02,050 embellished and exaggerated there was 1089 00:46:05,220 --> 00:46:03,520 one there was one particular example I 1090 00:46:07,650 --> 00:46:05,230 talked about in the book where a 1091 00:46:09,930 --> 00:46:07,660 reporter talked about how a young girl 1092 00:46:10,980 --> 00:46:09,940 had seen the chupacabra had been 1093 00:46:13,980 --> 00:46:10,990 kidnapped by it 1094 00:46:17,220 --> 00:46:13,990 the chupacabra then tattooed or had some 1095 00:46:19,290 --> 00:46:17,230 sort of skin marks on the girl it then 1096 00:46:21,900 --> 00:46:19,300 escaped and then the girl turned out to 1097 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:21,910 the girl shortly became a genius like a 1098 00:46:26,310 --> 00:46:24,850 child prodigy it's not clear whether 1099 00:46:29,190 --> 00:46:26,320 whether it was the tattoo or the 1100 00:46:31,500 --> 00:46:29,200 chupacabra but this was reported as a 1101 00:46:32,970 --> 00:46:31,510 straight chupacabra news story and it's 1102 00:46:36,030 --> 00:46:32,980 it's you know it's a way in the world 1103 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:36,040 news kind of thing essentially it is you 1104 00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:38,050 have to but this is you know that was 1105 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:39,730 not untypical of a lot of the news 1106 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:42,610 coverage of the original rican 1107 00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:44,290 chupacabra i mean so that that's 1108 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:46,990 actually not that wasn't a typical of 1109 00:46:51,780 --> 00:46:48,610 what people were hearing about 1110 00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:51,790 okay so separating the story the news 1111 00:46:57,690 --> 00:46:54,510 story where you have the tabloid writers 1112 00:47:00,150 --> 00:46:57,700 taken anything out there and making up 1113 00:47:01,980 --> 00:47:00,160 something mm okay so we know the 1114 00:47:03,900 --> 00:47:01,990 President Carter met with Martians or 1115 00:47:06,630 --> 00:47:03,910 something whatever it was back in the 1116 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:06,640 70s okay so we go back to the original 1117 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:08,650 event how do you do that do you go back 1118 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:10,690 to the original witnesses or you do you 1119 00:47:16,830 --> 00:47:13,210 assume because the tabloid has all this 1120 00:47:18,780 --> 00:47:16,840 elaborate invention behind it that they 1121 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:18,790 can't possibly be anything that has a 1122 00:47:24,030 --> 00:47:22,000 reality to it in this case I did a 1123 00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:24,040 couple different things one of them was 1124 00:47:29,970 --> 00:47:27,010 I researched as much as I could on the 1125 00:47:33,180 --> 00:47:29,980 original accounts that were taken at the 1126 00:47:34,830 --> 00:47:33,190 time in Puerto Rico so for that I relied 1127 00:47:37,710 --> 00:47:34,840 heavily on Scott paralysis book 1128 00:47:41,070 --> 00:47:37,720 chupacabras and other mysteries in which 1129 00:47:43,170 --> 00:47:41,080 he reports quite a few accounts from 1130 00:47:45,270 --> 00:47:43,180 from the time the other thing I did was 1131 00:47:47,070 --> 00:47:45,280 the other thing I did was go to Puerto 1132 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:47,080 Rico and I interviewed eyewitnesses 1133 00:47:52,350 --> 00:47:50,530 there as well as the original eyewitness 1134 00:47:54,930 --> 00:47:52,360 metal and tolentino who who's basically 1135 00:47:58,010 --> 00:47:54,940 citing spurred the the entire the entire 1136 00:48:00,180 --> 00:47:58,020 to recover a form and I played Barry 1137 00:48:02,970 --> 00:48:00,190 alright pretty much 1138 00:48:05,849 --> 00:48:02,980 then the third thing I did was I went to 1139 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:05,859 library archives in Puerto Rico in San 1140 00:48:10,650 --> 00:48:07,930 Juan and elsewhere and I research 1141 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:10,660 original chupacabra reports because 1142 00:48:14,220 --> 00:48:12,640 because I speak decent Spanish I 1143 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:14,230 photocopied them and I could read them 1144 00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:16,810 and and so I got information from there 1145 00:48:22,859 --> 00:48:19,990 and that 30 gives you a more of a more 1146 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:22,869 original source from more primary source 1147 00:48:26,460 --> 00:48:24,490 than just sort of you know a third hand 1148 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:26,470 stories do you think part of the problem 1149 00:48:30,930 --> 00:48:28,690 is that people are taking too many of 1150 00:48:33,690 --> 00:48:30,940 the third-party stories the third hand 1151 00:48:36,359 --> 00:48:33,700 that extravagant headlines in these 1152 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:36,369 tabloids and running with it and just 1153 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:38,530 taking any event anywhere as being part 1154 00:48:44,460 --> 00:48:41,410 of this chupacabra mystery I think 1155 00:48:51,380 --> 00:48:44,470 that's exactly what's going on I agree 1156 00:48:54,180 --> 00:48:51,390 with you Ben on that too so we're good 1157 00:49:00,839 --> 00:48:54,190 you know Chris agrees with you we know 1158 00:49:03,420 --> 00:49:00,849 it's not a mystery let's go on with the 1159 00:49:06,510 --> 00:49:03,430 caveat I agree that part of what we're 1160 00:49:08,700 --> 00:49:06,520 seeing here and I think the that it 1161 00:49:10,620 --> 00:49:08,710 should be stressed that you know your 1162 00:49:12,390 --> 00:49:10,630 point at the at the top of the show 1163 00:49:16,020 --> 00:49:12,400 about this all of a sudden appearing out 1164 00:49:18,630 --> 00:49:16,030 of nowhere in 1995 is I think really 1165 00:49:21,390 --> 00:49:18,640 telling and I think the spread of this 1166 00:49:24,780 --> 00:49:21,400 whole meme and the culture is is a 1167 00:49:27,900 --> 00:49:24,790 perfect example of how urban legends and 1168 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:27,910 in popular sort of modern myths 1169 00:49:32,460 --> 00:49:30,130 gets started propagated and spread you 1170 00:49:34,770 --> 00:49:32,470 know this is a good example I'm not 1171 00:49:36,180 --> 00:49:34,780 saying that that that there's not the 1172 00:49:39,870 --> 00:49:36,190 possibility of something being behind 1173 00:49:42,180 --> 00:49:39,880 this mystery some sort of real predatory 1174 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:42,190 presence that has been that is being 1175 00:49:46,859 --> 00:49:43,810 talked about but I don't think it really 1176 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:46,869 bears too much of a resemblance of what 1177 00:49:51,750 --> 00:49:49,210 the pop culture version of it is no I 1178 00:49:54,210 --> 00:49:51,760 and you make a very good point which is 1179 00:49:56,579 --> 00:49:54,220 that is it's not a or b it's not one of 1180 00:49:58,859 --> 00:49:56,589 the other it's not as if either there is 1181 00:50:01,920 --> 00:49:58,869 a real chupacabra or this is a media 1182 00:50:06,210 --> 00:50:01,930 hyped monster it's big you know it's it 1183 00:50:07,410 --> 00:50:06,220 could be both you know you regardless of 1184 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:07,420 whether you believe the chupacabra or 1185 00:50:12,329 --> 00:50:09,970 not it's an undeniable fact that the 1186 00:50:14,180 --> 00:50:12,339 media and the pop culture is a huge part 1187 00:50:18,380 --> 00:50:14,190 of the lore of surround 1188 00:50:20,569 --> 00:50:18,390 so he I would argue that in fact that 1189 00:50:23,809 --> 00:50:20,579 the entire phenomena much of the fam has 1190 00:50:25,790 --> 00:50:23,819 been propelled without a true Chupacabra 1191 00:50:28,069 --> 00:50:25,800 at its core I said we might we might 1192 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:28,079 differ there a little bit on that I do 1193 00:50:33,230 --> 00:50:29,810 have a sense that there is something 1194 00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:33,240 high strange at the core of this I think 1195 00:50:38,300 --> 00:50:35,490 that the actual events that could be 1196 00:50:40,819 --> 00:50:38,310 attributed to this particular entity or 1197 00:50:43,540 --> 00:50:40,829 whatever you want to call it are are a 1198 00:50:45,980 --> 00:50:43,550 small small percentage of the overall 1199 00:50:49,690 --> 00:50:45,990 appearance of the of the whole mystery 1200 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:49,700 but again this is where we differ Joe I 1201 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:52,290 assume that there are law enforcement 1202 00:50:57,410 --> 00:50:54,930 officials and veterinarians and others 1203 00:50:59,900 --> 00:50:57,420 who are able to determine cause of death 1204 00:51:02,359 --> 00:50:59,910 and whether an animal has been truly 1205 00:51:03,950 --> 00:51:02,369 exaggerated this is an element that you 1206 00:51:05,839 --> 00:51:03,960 bring up I think very effectively in 1207 00:51:07,670 --> 00:51:05,849 your book this is one of the mainstays 1208 00:51:09,290 --> 00:51:07,680 of this phenomenon that these animals 1209 00:51:12,470 --> 00:51:09,300 are drained of blood and fluids and 1210 00:51:15,500 --> 00:51:12,480 having undergone this same scenario in 1211 00:51:19,250 --> 00:51:15,510 the cattle mutilation phenomenon I find 1212 00:51:22,370 --> 00:51:19,260 that it's it's highly it's it's just not 1213 00:51:24,380 --> 00:51:22,380 true these animals I don't think are 1214 00:51:26,630 --> 00:51:24,390 drained I know the cattle are very 1215 00:51:29,170 --> 00:51:26,640 rarely drained of fluids in all the 1216 00:51:31,609 --> 00:51:29,180 cases that I've checked so we're going 1217 00:51:35,210 --> 00:51:31,619 in a moment we'll have all the CSI 1218 00:51:37,730 --> 00:51:35,220 coverage here this is the power cast CSI 1219 00:51:39,980 --> 00:51:37,740 edition

00:52:28,349 --> 00:52:25,990 talk about gold IRAs they've been 1240 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:28,359 available since 1986 yet the financial 1241 00:52:31,740 --> 00:52:30,010 industry won't recognize the value of 1242 00:52:33,690 --> 00:52:31,750 gold for your retirement gold has 1243 00:52:35,609 --> 00:52:33,700 outperformed paper investments yet no 1244 00:52:49,670 --> 00:52:35,619 word about IRAs if you would like to 1245 00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:04,050 [Music] 1246 00:53:10,430 --> 00:53:08,250 we have been Radford the book tracking 1247 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:10,440 the chupacabra or maybe there's nothing 1248 00:53:13,940 --> 00:53:11,970 to track after all 1249 00:53:16,580 --> 00:53:13,950 Chris O'Brien's the co-host some genes 1250 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:16,590 Steinberger in the para cast Chris watch 1251 00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:18,330 pick up on what you started with in our 1252 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:20,640 last segment well yes we were talking 1253 00:53:27,890 --> 00:53:23,930 Jeana ban about the whole I think 1254 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:27,900 erroneous assumption that is made in not 1255 00:53:32,390 --> 00:53:29,970 only in chupacabra cases I think in in 1256 00:53:34,580 --> 00:53:32,400 many of them if not most but also in the 1257 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:34,590 cattle mutilation phenomenon you so 1258 00:53:39,380 --> 00:53:37,530 often see the the description drained of 1259 00:53:42,170 --> 00:53:39,390 blood you know one of the things that I 1260 00:53:44,270 --> 00:53:42,180 kind of ended up having to do when I 1261 00:53:47,660 --> 00:53:44,280 would be faced with this claim by a 1262 00:53:50,720 --> 00:53:47,670 rancher or by the discoverer let's say I 1263 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:50,730 would be a supposedly mutilated cow as I 1264 00:53:54,350 --> 00:53:52,770 just get a big strong my brother a 1265 00:53:56,750 --> 00:53:54,360 couple of friends we flipped the thing 1266 00:53:58,370 --> 00:53:56,760 over and there's all your fluids they 1267 00:54:01,820 --> 00:53:58,380 just come rolling out of the body cavity 1268 00:54:04,370 --> 00:54:01,830 now it's more difficult to determine the 1269 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:04,380 extent of any exaggeration in a small 1270 00:54:09,830 --> 00:54:06,930 animal like a chicken or you know 1271 00:54:13,730 --> 00:54:09,840 especially fowl but in larger animals 1272 00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:13,740 like goats in swine cattle sheep it's 1273 00:54:17,810 --> 00:54:15,630 fairly easy to determine whether the 1274 00:54:21,050 --> 00:54:17,820 animal has been drained and I do applaud 1275 00:54:22,610 --> 00:54:21,060 you ban on pointing out the the problem 1276 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:22,620 that we have in trying to get to the 1277 00:54:26,930 --> 00:54:24,450 bottom of this mystery when this is 1278 00:54:29,030 --> 00:54:26,940 constantly being put up as evidence of 1279 00:54:31,670 --> 00:54:29,040 above high strangeness and I personally 1280 00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:31,680 know that it's probably not the case so 1281 00:54:36,650 --> 00:54:34,170 I just wanted to point that out and why 1282 00:54:38,900 --> 00:54:36,660 don't you continue no I appreciate that 1283 00:54:41,180 --> 00:54:38,910 and I think I think we're in complete 1284 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:41,190 agreement with that you know when I was 1285 00:54:46,610 --> 00:54:44,010 reading some of the original accounts 1286 00:54:49,610 --> 00:54:46,620 for example in Scott paralysis book 1287 00:54:51,380 --> 00:54:49,620 chupacabras dozens and dozens of times I 1288 00:54:53,390 --> 00:54:51,390 would read the phrase or something like 1289 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:53,400 you know without a drop of blood or 1290 00:54:57,020 --> 00:54:55,410 without any blood at all or had been 1291 00:54:58,250 --> 00:54:57,030 drained of it and I would just read this 1292 00:55:01,160 --> 00:54:58,260 over and over and over and over again 1293 00:55:02,570 --> 00:55:01,170 and I kept waiting for somebody with 1294 00:55:04,490 --> 00:55:02,580 some authority and some medical 1295 00:55:07,910 --> 00:55:04,500 authority to say that yes this has had 1296 00:55:10,130 --> 00:55:07,920 in fact been verified and it's the it's 1297 00:55:13,130 --> 00:55:10,140 the exact same case with chupacabra 1298 00:55:15,260 --> 00:55:13,140 reports in general which is that almost 1299 00:55:17,140 --> 00:55:15,270 invariably nobody bothered to look 1300 00:55:20,019 --> 00:55:17,150 nobody bothered to do an actual 1301 00:55:21,609 --> 00:55:20,029 good in veterinary or necropsy to 1302 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:21,619 determine that there wasn't that blood 1303 00:55:27,279 --> 00:55:23,690 loss in the cases where people did do 1304 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:27,289 that there was no blood loss and so that 1305 00:55:32,319 --> 00:55:29,210 that that's sort of a big part of the 1306 00:55:36,039 --> 00:55:32,329 mystery to my mind that has really been 1307 00:55:38,230 --> 00:55:36,049 yeah not was widely known as it should 1308 00:55:40,329 --> 00:55:38,240 be that that you know if things are not 1309 00:55:42,519 --> 00:55:40,339 actually legitimately generally drained 1310 00:55:44,319 --> 00:55:42,529 of blood then we don't need to look for 1311 00:55:45,730 --> 00:55:44,329 a vampire that has drained the blood out 1312 00:55:47,620 --> 00:55:45,740 of those things because there's no blood 1313 00:55:49,870 --> 00:55:47,630 to worry about so where do we have this 1314 00:55:52,809 --> 00:55:49,880 disconnect where did they take instances 1315 00:55:55,690 --> 00:55:52,819 where there was no drain blood and then 1316 00:55:59,410 --> 00:55:55,700 we add that X Factor to it to my mind 1317 00:56:03,069 --> 00:55:59,420 it's because most people would possibly 1318 00:56:06,250 --> 00:56:03,079 make the connection between the things 1319 00:56:09,099 --> 00:56:06,260 they find and vampirism you have to 1320 00:56:11,170 --> 00:56:09,109 realize that if in many of these these 1321 00:56:14,500 --> 00:56:11,180 so-called chupacabra victims they were 1322 00:56:16,660 --> 00:56:14,510 attacked by by canids dogs coyotes foxes 1323 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:16,670 things like that and the way those 1324 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:18,770 animals attack is with a bite to the 1325 00:56:23,829 --> 00:56:21,890 neck and and that would typically leave 1326 00:56:24,940 --> 00:56:23,839 two or four depending on how you're 1327 00:56:27,339 --> 00:56:24,950 looking at it 1328 00:56:29,470 --> 00:56:27,349 puncture wounds at the neck and people 1329 00:56:30,730 --> 00:56:29,480 always say well no no yeah this couldn't 1330 00:56:32,289 --> 00:56:30,740 be a dog attack or this couldn't be a 1331 00:56:34,630 --> 00:56:32,299 coyote attack because the coyote would 1332 00:56:37,059 --> 00:56:34,640 would eat the whole thing and that's 1333 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:37,069 simply incorrect it's factually wrong I 1334 00:56:42,670 --> 00:56:38,690 did a fair amount of research into 1335 00:56:44,859 --> 00:56:42,680 wildlife predation for primarily dog and 1336 00:56:47,019 --> 00:56:44,869 wolf and and cutting predation and 1337 00:56:49,329 --> 00:56:47,029 that's that's not at all of what happens 1338 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:49,339 on occasion yeah they sometimes they 1339 00:56:54,370 --> 00:56:51,650 just killed for the sake of killing they 1340 00:56:56,109 --> 00:56:54,380 do and and they and they'll bite them on 1341 00:56:59,140 --> 00:56:56,119 the neck and then they'll run away and 1342 00:57:02,260 --> 00:56:59,150 if someone later comes across an animal 1343 00:57:04,059 --> 00:57:02,270 say a goat that's dead and it has two 1344 00:57:06,460 --> 00:57:04,069 puncture marks on the neck but it's 1345 00:57:08,829 --> 00:57:06,470 otherwise you know there's no other sign 1346 00:57:11,470 --> 00:57:08,839 of blood or no no there's no sign of 1347 00:57:13,450 --> 00:57:11,480 death it's just this animal is dead the 1348 00:57:15,579 --> 00:57:13,460 only thing that I can see is two two you 1349 00:57:17,890 --> 00:57:15,589 know two bite marks on the neck then 1350 00:57:19,779 --> 00:57:17,900 it's not an illogical sort of leap 1351 00:57:21,370 --> 00:57:19,789 actually it is a logically but 1352 00:57:23,620 --> 00:57:21,380 unfortunately it's a common leap to say 1353 00:57:25,599 --> 00:57:23,630 well maybe it was attacked by a vampire 1354 00:57:27,579 --> 00:57:25,609 and so I think that's where a lot of 1355 00:57:28,970 --> 00:57:27,589 people make that connection are we too 1356 00:57:32,390 --> 00:57:28,980 obsessed with vampires 1357 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:32,400 we have vampires on TV constant 1358 00:57:37,130 --> 00:57:34,530 reference to vampires these days I think 1359 00:57:39,710 --> 00:57:37,140 more than the days we had Dracula movies 1360 00:57:42,470 --> 00:57:39,720 is that part of why we get this kind of 1361 00:57:44,810 --> 00:57:42,480 story I think that's part of it I mean 1362 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:44,820 in my in my research I actually trace 1363 00:57:50,859 --> 00:57:48,810 the vampire mythos back to you know you 1364 00:57:53,390 --> 00:57:50,869 look at the you're the European vampires 1365 00:57:54,980 --> 00:57:53,400 and I think there's a pretty strong 1366 00:57:56,660 --> 00:57:54,990 connection I make that connect I make 1367 00:57:58,940 --> 00:57:56,670 that argument in the book that you can 1368 00:58:00,710 --> 00:57:58,950 draw a pretty good pretty strong line 1369 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:00,720 between the European vampires and let's 1370 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:04,050 say 17 1800s to the chupacabra and I 1371 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:06,690 also go into African vampires and Latin 1372 00:58:11,450 --> 00:58:08,850 American vampires as well and so to my 1373 00:58:13,910 --> 00:58:11,460 mind that the chupacabra in a real way 1374 00:58:15,830 --> 00:58:13,920 is just sort of updated version of the 1375 00:58:17,510 --> 00:58:15,840 European vampire and there's some 1376 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:17,520 there's some more interesting parallels 1377 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:18,570 I don't know how in-depth you want to 1378 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:20,010 get into it but there's there's some 1379 00:58:23,990 --> 00:58:21,810 interesting parallels there so we have 1380 00:58:27,620 --> 00:58:24,000 something here that suddenly it springs 1381 00:58:29,330 --> 00:58:27,630 upon us a chupacabra and all-new there's 1382 00:58:32,540 --> 00:58:29,340 nothing that you can find in folklore 1383 00:58:33,830 --> 00:58:32,550 anywhere about a similar creature is 1384 00:58:37,340 --> 00:58:33,840 that your testimony sir 1385 00:58:38,710 --> 00:58:37,350 that's not quite right it depends on how 1386 00:58:42,290 --> 00:58:38,720 you're defining it I mean certainly 1387 00:58:43,609 --> 00:58:42,300 because because the vampire motif is 1388 00:58:45,290 --> 00:58:43,619 universal 1389 00:58:47,510 --> 00:58:45,300 you know cultures all over the world and 1390 00:58:49,220 --> 00:58:47,520 for foredeck for you know centuries and 1391 00:58:51,020 --> 00:58:49,230 millennia have stories about vampires 1392 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:51,030 the ancient Greeks had stories about 1393 00:58:55,190 --> 00:58:51,570 vampires 1394 00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:55,200 so the vampire idea is not new 1395 00:58:58,400 --> 00:58:57,810 what I am arguing is that as far as I 1396 00:59:01,970 --> 00:58:58,410 can tell 1397 00:59:05,150 --> 00:59:01,980 prior to 1995 there was no blood sucking 1398 00:59:07,580 --> 00:59:05,160 beast called the chupacabra in Puerto 1399 00:59:09,470 --> 00:59:07,590 Rico or anywhere else and you've you've 1400 00:59:11,780 --> 00:59:09,480 actually offered a reward for any 1401 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:11,790 earlier cases if memory serves me 1402 00:59:16,550 --> 00:59:14,130 correct you you're actually actively 1403 00:59:18,590 --> 00:59:16,560 trying to find some cases that predate 1404 00:59:21,830 --> 00:59:18,600 that 95 date that's exactly right 1405 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:21,840 because in the last few weeks since my 1406 00:59:25,700 --> 00:59:23,490 book has been out and I've had I've been 1407 00:59:28,220 --> 00:59:25,710 contacted by a dozen or so people who 1408 00:59:29,780 --> 00:59:28,230 have told me that I don't know what I'm 1409 00:59:32,090 --> 00:59:29,790 talking about and then the bait they 1410 00:59:34,730 --> 00:59:32,100 specifically personally remember hearing 1411 00:59:37,609 --> 00:59:34,740 about the chupacabra in the 50s 60s 70s 1412 00:59:40,190 --> 00:59:37,619 and 80s in Texas and New Mexico and I 1413 00:59:41,660 --> 00:59:40,200 reckon elsewhere it's possible but all I 1414 00:59:43,460 --> 00:59:41,670 can tell you is that the 1415 00:59:46,039 --> 00:59:43,470 I couldn't find any any previous 1416 00:59:50,390 --> 00:59:46,049 references to the chupacabra before that 1417 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:50,400 before 1995 and and if someone can find 1418 00:59:54,530 --> 00:59:51,690 a published reference to the word 1419 00:59:55,819 --> 00:59:54,540 chupacabra meaning a vampire beast not 1420 00:59:58,520 --> 00:59:55,829 something else because there actually 1421 01:00:00,410 --> 00:59:58,530 was a chupacabra that referred to a bird 1422 01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:00,420 that supposedly suck the milk out of 1423 01:00:04,970 --> 01:00:02,730 goats but not blood and not a vampire 1424 01:00:07,250 --> 01:00:04,980 piece so yeah I'm offering a 250 dollar 1425 01:00:08,930 --> 01:00:07,260 reward plus the sign copy my book okay 1426 01:00:13,750 --> 01:00:08,940 two hundred fifty dollars this is not 1427 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:23,750 oh come on Ben pony it up man I'll start 1428 01:00:33,170 --> 01:00:30,450 looking for you it's not well let's 1429 01:00:36,829 --> 01:00:33,180 let's digress real quick and and look at 1430 01:00:38,870 --> 01:00:36,839 how the term Chupacabra was was kind of 1431 01:00:41,359 --> 01:00:38,880 inadvertently and almost in a comedic 1432 01:00:43,490 --> 01:00:41,369 way literally applied to this particular 1433 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:43,500 phenomenon this story is very 1434 01:00:47,539 --> 01:00:45,210 interesting wasn't it some Puerto Rican 1435 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:47,549 comedian I think they kind of coined the 1436 01:00:51,260 --> 01:00:49,410 term and it's stuck and and there were 1437 01:00:53,930 --> 01:00:51,270 songs written and in other pop culture 1438 01:00:57,190 --> 01:00:53,940 yeah stuff they kind of propelled the 1439 01:01:00,289 --> 01:00:57,200 whole of the whole thing along yeah 1440 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:00,299 Loren Coleman did some research and dug 1441 01:01:05,630 --> 01:01:03,450 up a reference to a chupacabra on the TV 1442 01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:05,640 show bonanza in 1960 but again that 1443 01:01:10,250 --> 01:01:07,530 refers specifically to it to a bird and 1444 01:01:11,809 --> 01:01:10,260 not to any sort of vampiric beast the 1445 01:01:14,750 --> 01:01:11,819 first reference that I've been able to 1446 01:01:16,130 --> 01:01:14,760 find is to the chupacabra there's 1447 01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:16,140 actually two people that I know for 1448 01:01:20,180 --> 01:01:18,450 certain that claim to acquainted the 1449 01:01:23,870 --> 01:01:20,190 most famous one is a man named Silvio 1450 01:01:28,069 --> 01:01:23,880 Perez who is who is who was and I think 1451 01:01:30,289 --> 01:01:28,079 still is a popular radio entertainer in 1452 01:01:32,660 --> 01:01:30,299 in Puerto Rico and my understanding is 1453 01:01:37,099 --> 01:01:32,670 that he claimed that he coined the word 1454 01:01:40,569 --> 01:01:37,109 chupacabra in 95 shortly after the some 1455 01:01:43,130 --> 01:01:40,579 of the first animal deaths became public 1456 01:01:45,559 --> 01:01:43,140 and at that point it became a joke I 1457 01:01:47,660 --> 01:01:45,569 mean it was you know he was he meant it 1458 01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:47,670 as a joke it wasn't oh my god you should 1459 01:01:51,710 --> 01:01:49,530 be scared it's like hey here's a 1460 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:51,720 chupacabra goatsucker blah blah blah 1461 01:01:56,170 --> 01:01:53,570 and yeah it 1462 01:01:59,200 --> 01:01:56,180 suddenly spun off into your t-shirts and 1463 01:02:02,160 --> 01:01:59,210 hats and songs and and little Chupacabra 1464 01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:02,170 you know chachki and figurines and no 1465 01:02:07,270 --> 01:02:04,940 t-shirts and you name it so it quickly 1466 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:07,280 but the Puerto Ricans themselves quickly 1467 01:02:11,410 --> 01:02:09,170 embraced the chupacabra many of them 1468 01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:11,420 feared it I mean there was a there was 1469 01:02:16,150 --> 01:02:14,000 and still is a real belief in chupacabra 1470 01:02:18,250 --> 01:02:16,160 among many Puerto Ricans but many other 1471 01:02:20,590 --> 01:02:18,260 Puerto Ricans just saw it sort of as 1472 01:02:23,050 --> 01:02:20,600 kind of a joke there's their their local 1473 01:02:25,030 --> 01:02:23,060 version of Bigfoot so it's all for 1474 01:02:26,740 --> 01:02:25,040 entertainment and we'll make some more 1475 01:02:29,140 --> 01:02:26,750 movies about it

Oldman will play that role you know 1595 01:07:53,910 --> 01:07:51,520 when he gives up on Batman you know the 1596 01:07:55,530 --> 01:07:53,920 Dark Knight Rises you know and he has to 1597 01:07:57,450 --> 01:07:55,540 give up being Commissioner Gordon he can 1598 01:08:00,180 --> 01:07:57,460 play a chupacabra for everybody the book 1599 01:08:01,799 --> 01:08:00,190 is tracking the chupacabra with Benjamin 1600 01:08:04,410 --> 01:08:01,809 Radford Chris why'd you pick up on the 1601 01:08:05,910 --> 01:08:04,420 discussion yeah this is a real 1602 01:08:08,430 --> 01:08:05,920 fascinating subject to me because I 1603 01:08:10,410 --> 01:08:08,440 think we're dealing with a number of 1604 01:08:12,510 --> 01:08:10,420 issues that we've we've been kind of 1605 01:08:15,299 --> 01:08:12,520 playing around with here and that is the 1606 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:15,309 very belief in a mystery such as this 1607 01:08:20,579 --> 01:08:18,850 can grow its own legs and literally they 1608 01:08:23,130 --> 01:08:20,589 have a life of its own once it gets 1609 01:08:26,099 --> 01:08:23,140 loose into the culture and and the whole 1610 01:08:29,070 --> 01:08:26,109 idea of belief in something I feel it 1611 01:08:31,380 --> 01:08:29,080 has a lot more strength and power than 1612 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:31,390 your average sociologist would would 1613 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:35,410 agree to and I even have a sense that if 1614 01:08:40,110 --> 01:08:37,810 enough people believe fervently in 1615 01:08:41,430 --> 01:08:40,120 something that there is a possibility 1616 01:08:43,430 --> 01:08:41,440 that the culture itself or the 1617 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:43,440 subculture can actually manifest 1618 01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:46,210 phenomena that conform to that belief 1619 01:08:50,910 --> 01:08:48,370 and it becomes a self-perpetuating meme 1620 01:08:52,709 --> 01:08:50,920 in the culture and and I think this is a 1621 01:08:54,959 --> 01:08:52,719 classic example I'm probably one of the 1622 01:08:57,809 --> 01:08:54,969 better textbook illustrations of this 1623 01:08:59,370 --> 01:08:57,819 again I'm not saying I'm not saying that 1624 01:09:01,499 --> 01:08:59,380 there's not something at the core of 1625 01:09:03,539 --> 01:09:01,509 this I in fact I do have 1626 01:09:06,599 --> 01:09:03,549 a sense that there is but I think it's 1627 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:06,609 all the interesting sort of subtext that 1628 01:09:10,859 --> 01:09:09,130 you have to kind of Wade through in in 1629 01:09:13,319 --> 01:09:10,869 an effort to investigate this properly 1630 01:09:14,970 --> 01:09:13,329 and get to the core of this like like 1631 01:09:17,490 --> 01:09:14,980 you've done been and I must have you 1632 01:09:19,019 --> 01:09:17,500 know applaud you on the very methodical 1633 01:09:22,140 --> 01:09:19,029 way that you have approached the subject 1634 01:09:24,419 --> 01:09:22,150 now I've known Scott Collis for a number 1635 01:09:27,689 --> 01:09:24,429 of years I do feel that he's doing a 1636 01:09:29,759 --> 01:09:27,699 great job covering the media portion of 1637 01:09:31,589 --> 01:09:29,769 the UFO phenomenon down in in Latin 1638 01:09:33,269 --> 01:09:31,599 America he is connected with a lot of 1639 01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:33,279 investigators down there what are your 1640 01:09:37,499 --> 01:09:36,130 observations about his book chupacabras 1641 01:09:40,140 --> 01:09:37,509 and other mysteries which for a long 1642 01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:40,150 time was really the only extensive work 1643 01:09:43,979 --> 01:09:42,130 that we had on the subject I mean you 1644 01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:43,989 know how professional a job did he do in 1645 01:09:48,870 --> 01:09:46,329 your in your estimation interviewing 1646 01:09:50,220 --> 01:09:48,880 witnesses and trying to avoid that that 1647 01:09:54,649 --> 01:09:50,230 problem that you have with mainstream 1648 01:09:57,779 --> 01:09:54,659 media in sensationalizing the subject 1649 01:09:59,609 --> 01:09:57,789 mr. Corrales I appreciate some of the 1650 01:10:01,859 --> 01:09:59,619 work he's done I think he's done a real 1651 01:10:04,589 --> 01:10:01,869 service to to the cryptozoological 1652 01:10:06,419 --> 01:10:04,599 community and the paranormal community 1653 01:10:08,490 --> 01:10:06,429 in general for a number of things one of 1654 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:08,500 them is helping to make available 1655 01:10:12,799 --> 01:10:10,570 spanish-language material certainly 1656 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:12,809 original source materials for 1657 01:10:17,729 --> 01:10:15,610 non-spanish speakers that is a task that 1658 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:17,739 is often thankless and that's something 1659 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:19,210 he's done a very good job of and I 1660 01:10:23,970 --> 01:10:21,730 congratulate him on that and that is a 1661 01:10:27,419 --> 01:10:23,980 real service and I think that's useful 1662 01:10:30,450 --> 01:10:27,429 my problem with with him is that I have 1663 01:10:33,180 --> 01:10:30,460 found that he often times doesn't inject 1664 01:10:35,759 --> 01:10:33,190 as much commentary into what he's 1665 01:10:37,620 --> 01:10:35,769 reporting as he should for somebody who 1666 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:37,630 is as knowledgeable about the chupacabra 1667 01:10:42,569 --> 01:10:40,570 or chupacabra says he prefers an S at 1668 01:10:44,970 --> 01:10:42,579 the end but I'm not going to use it that 1669 01:10:48,209 --> 01:10:44,980 you know there was times when I read his 1670 01:10:50,939 --> 01:10:48,219 reports and his translations and they're 1671 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:50,949 so they're clearly self contradictions 1672 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:53,050 inherent in this and you know and I 1673 01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:54,610 can't believe that he doesn't recognize 1674 01:10:59,250 --> 01:10:56,650 that some of the things he's saying just 1675 01:11:02,399 --> 01:10:59,260 simply cannot be true or or there are 1676 01:11:04,620 --> 01:11:02,409 certainly merit commentary I used his 1677 01:11:06,540 --> 01:11:04,630 book quite a bit and as you pointed out 1678 01:11:09,450 --> 01:11:06,550 for you know ten years or whatever it 1679 01:11:11,879 --> 01:11:09,460 was basically the only serious work on 1680 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:11,889 the chupacabra and it's useful certainly 1681 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:12,730 in that regard 1682 01:11:18,210 --> 01:11:14,890 but I found it to be far too gullible 1683 01:11:21,060 --> 01:11:18,220 for my taste it's just the you know his 1684 01:11:23,220 --> 01:11:21,070 his his reporting is is its it's useful 1685 01:11:25,290 --> 01:11:23,230 for as far as it goes but I kept waiting 1686 01:11:27,090 --> 01:11:25,300 for him to sort of say well of course as 1687 01:11:29,729 --> 01:11:27,100 we know this can't be true because XY 1688 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:29,739 and Z you know I'm not saying that he 1689 01:11:34,470 --> 01:11:32,410 himself is gullible necessarily but that 1690 01:11:36,510 --> 01:11:34,480 I felt that some of his reporting needed 1691 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:36,520 to have a little more skepticism and and 1692 01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:38,770 sort of critical thinking behind it so I 1693 01:11:42,570 --> 01:11:40,510 actually tried to interview him several 1694 01:11:44,220 --> 01:11:42,580 times for the Chupacabra book and you 1695 01:11:46,620 --> 01:11:44,230 know I I had a series of questions I 1696 01:11:49,229 --> 01:11:46,630 interviewed loren coleman and and john 1697 01:11:50,850 --> 01:11:49,239 downs and karl shuker and others and i 1698 01:11:52,710 --> 01:11:50,860 really wanted to have Scott's input on 1699 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:52,720 it because other than me he probably 1700 01:11:55,950 --> 01:11:54,130 knows more about the chupacabra than 1701 01:11:58,979 --> 01:11:55,960 anyone else live with all due respect 1702 01:12:01,170 --> 01:11:58,989 yeah but he refused he he said that he 1703 01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:01,180 didn't want to do it in fact he made 1704 01:12:04,860 --> 01:12:02,530 some commenters that were called to 1705 01:12:07,110 --> 01:12:04,870 Loren something about how he didn't want 1706 01:12:08,550 --> 01:12:07,120 to know think of wallowing with pigs or 1707 01:12:10,530 --> 01:12:08,560 something he made some sort of comment 1708 01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:10,540 about how he felt that the answering my 1709 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:12,010 questions were participating the book 1710 01:12:17,729 --> 01:12:14,410 would somehow demean him would see at 1711 01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:17,739 all because I Scott doesn't come off 1712 01:12:22,050 --> 01:12:19,810 real well in the book but it's not it's 1713 01:12:23,850 --> 01:12:22,060 not out of any antagonism but he just 1714 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:23,860 didn't he didn't answer questions and he 1715 01:12:28,710 --> 01:12:26,290 I would have I wouldn't love to have his 1716 01:12:30,210 --> 01:12:28,720 more of his input in the book and and if 1717 01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:30,220 I do if the book goes into ascetic 1718 01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:33,130 second printing I would welcome his his 1719 01:12:37,140 --> 01:12:34,930 input and I would treat him fairly and 1720 01:12:38,910 --> 01:12:37,150 I'd like to have him be part of it but 1721 01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:38,920 you know again I can't I can't force him 1722 01:12:44,340 --> 01:12:41,770 to to be part of it so well you know 1723 01:12:46,020 --> 01:12:44,350 again I I kind of agree with you on that 1724 01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:46,030 case and in fact this is this is 1725 01:12:51,540 --> 01:12:49,450 something that I've actually found have 1726 01:12:53,610 --> 01:12:51,550 any answer to from people who have 1727 01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:53,620 looked at my work and said that you're 1728 01:12:58,620 --> 01:12:56,410 just too factual in terms of trying to 1729 01:13:01,740 --> 01:12:58,630 to convey the information that was given 1730 01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:01,750 to you and you you're unwilling to put 1731 01:13:06,870 --> 01:13:04,390 your neck out and state whether you you 1732 01:13:10,410 --> 01:13:06,880 think that this is BS or this is no real 1733 01:13:11,850 --> 01:13:10,420 or whatever and and and I do tend to 1734 01:13:14,550 --> 01:13:11,860 take a journalistic approach in some 1735 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:14,560 subjects but in Scotts case I think he 1736 01:13:19,860 --> 01:13:17,890 did a good job of assembling quite a 1737 01:13:22,440 --> 01:13:19,870 number of very interesting cases that I 1738 01:13:25,110 --> 01:13:22,450 I feel some of them definitely had merit 1739 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:25,120 and the law enforcement case for 1740 01:13:30,050 --> 01:13:27,210 instance and the 1741 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:30,060 one of the elements that that I feel may 1742 01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:32,370 be important is the the sulfur smell 1743 01:13:38,030 --> 01:13:35,130 that's been associated with some of 1744 01:13:40,070 --> 01:13:38,040 these cases in Puerto Rico and in Chile 1745 01:13:42,650 --> 01:13:40,080 and in other places there are certain 1746 01:13:45,470 --> 01:13:42,660 elements I think need to be investigated 1747 01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:45,480 more fully and you know hopefully if 1748 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:47,610 Scott does continue working in this 1749 01:13:53,300 --> 01:13:50,850 particular realm on this mystery that he 1750 01:13:55,790 --> 01:13:53,310 he dives in a little bit more and and is 1751 01:13:58,280 --> 01:13:55,800 willing to put his put his opinion out 1752 01:14:02,950 --> 01:13:58,290 there and and take your suggestion to 1753 01:14:06,380 --> 01:14:02,960 heart I think it would be good yeah 1754 01:14:08,990 --> 01:14:06,390 we're all on the same page here you know 1755 01:14:11,270 --> 01:14:09,000 I'm you know certainly probably more of 1756 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:11,280 a skeptic than you two are in most of 1757 01:14:14,900 --> 01:14:13,050 your audiences but ultimately the way I 1758 01:14:16,490 --> 01:14:14,910 see it is that we're all trying to find 1759 01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:16,500 the answer we're all trying to 1760 01:14:21,890 --> 01:14:18,930 understand the truth here and you know I 1761 01:14:24,380 --> 01:14:21,900 I don't have any access to grind on this 1762 01:14:26,450 --> 01:14:24,390 i'm you know i i'm not i'm not getting 1763 01:14:29,300 --> 01:14:26,460 paid more or less i'm getting paid much 1764 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:29,310 at all in either event but i I don't I 1765 01:14:32,930 --> 01:14:30,810 personally don't have a stake in whether 1766 01:14:35,390 --> 01:14:32,940 the chupacabras real or not I don't care 1767 01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:35,400 I I want to find the answer to the 1768 01:14:39,020 --> 01:14:37,050 mystery I want to try and solve the 1769 01:14:41,390 --> 01:14:39,030 mystery as best I can and if the answer 1770 01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:41,400 turns out to be that you know for 1771 01:14:45,050 --> 01:14:42,810 example at one point I went to the 1772 01:14:47,330 --> 01:14:45,060 jungles Nicaragua and I did an 1773 01:14:49,490 --> 01:14:47,340 expedition there if I had found some 1774 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:49,500 unusual chupacabra light creature I 1775 01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:51,090 would be the first person to say that 1776 01:14:55,190 --> 01:14:53,130 I'm not gonna you know cover it up or 1777 01:14:57,890 --> 01:14:55,200 try and hide it because it it refutes my 1778 01:14:59,570 --> 01:14:57,900 thesis I mean I don't care if the ovens 1779 01:15:01,970 --> 01:14:59,580 are there the evidence is there and I 1780 01:15:03,290 --> 01:15:01,980 think that sort of getting back to the 1781 01:15:05,479 --> 01:15:03,300 Scott issue I think that there's this 1782 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:05,489 thing between an investigator and 1783 01:15:11,229 --> 01:15:07,890 reporter and I also see this a lot of 1784 01:15:14,479

01:20:35,190 chupacabra is that real fantasy or 1902 01:20:39,110 --> 01:20:37,320 somewhere in between and the guest is 1903 01:20:41,090 --> 01:20:39,120 Benjamin Radford the co-host is Chris 1904 01:20:42,650 --> 01:20:41,100 O'Brien I'm gene steinberger in the para 1905 01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:42,660 cast but that would be very serious for 1906 01:20:46,070 --> 01:20:44,490 a moment okay and we have questions by 1907 01:20:47,690 --> 01:20:46,080 the way from our audience coming up 1908 01:20:49,460 --> 01:20:47,700 shortly so we're talking about the 1909 01:20:51,020 --> 01:20:49,470 scholarship here where a lot of the 1910 01:20:53,330 --> 01:20:51,030 people who write books they just collect 1911 01:20:56,180 --> 01:20:53,340 stories they're not really investigating 1912 01:20:58,250 --> 01:20:56,190 anything or trying to determine fact 1913 01:21:00,410 --> 01:20:58,260 from fiction all they care about is 1914 01:21:02,810 --> 01:21:00,420 collecting stories and writing a fun 1915 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:02,820 entertaining book is that what you're 1916 01:21:07,970 --> 01:21:05,250 suggesting yeah I found that over and 1917 01:21:10,130 --> 01:21:07,980 over again in the last you know 10 or 15 1918 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:10,140 years I don't want to suggest that there 1919 01:21:13,060 --> 01:21:11,850 is not good investigation out there 1920 01:21:16,370 --> 01:21:13,070 because there is a good investigation 1921 01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:16,380 but I would say it's probably less than 1922 01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:19,290 5 or 10% of the the literature that's 1923 01:21:23,300 --> 01:21:20,970 out there you know for every for a 1924 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:23,310 magazine article or book that you see 1925 01:21:27,590 --> 01:21:25,530 written on the subject of the paranormal 1926 01:21:29,930 --> 01:21:27,600 whether it's ghosts or chupacabras or 1927 01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:29,940 psychics or to have you the vast 1928 01:21:35,090 --> 01:21:32,370 majority of it is just sort of rehashed 1929 01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:35,100 off and plagiarized information and and 1930 01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:36,570 there's very few people that are 1931 01:21:40,070 --> 01:21:38,610 actually making a sincere effort to do 1932 01:21:41,810 --> 01:21:40,080 investigations and that's one reason 1933 01:21:43,910 --> 01:21:41,820 that i think chris is doing some good 1934 01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:43,920 work i think he night there's a lot of 1935 01:21:47,780 --> 01:21:46,050 points where he and I would disagree but 1936 01:21:49,550 --> 01:21:47,790 I I've read some of this stuff and I 1937 01:21:50,810 --> 01:21:49,560 think that you know that there's some 1938 01:21:52,610 --> 01:21:50,820 there's some good investigation there 1939 01:21:55,310 --> 01:21:52,620 Wow thank you coming from you that's 1940 01:21:58,850 --> 01:21:55,320 quite a compliment I you know I do take 1941 01:22:01,610 --> 01:21:58,860 a bit of heat on the para cast forums 1942 01:22:05,330 --> 01:22:01,620 for by some of our more skeptical 1943 01:22:07,770 --> 01:22:05,340 posters for what they claim is my lack 1944 01:22:09,930 --> 01:22:07,780 of critical thinking that I'm 1945 01:22:11,279 --> 01:22:09,940 gullible that I'll believe any anything 1946 01:22:13,919 --> 01:22:11,289 that comes down the pike and and 1947 01:22:17,010 --> 01:22:13,929 actually could it's quite the reverse I 1948 01:22:19,260 --> 01:22:17,020 I actually started out as a reporter 1949 01:22:21,870 --> 01:22:19,270 trying to get to the bottom and explain 1950 01:22:23,729 --> 01:22:21,880 away some UFO sightings is how he 1951 01:22:25,919 --> 01:22:23,739 actually got involved in all this so 1952 01:22:27,959 --> 01:22:25,929 mmm-hmm you know you have to kind of 1953 01:22:30,209 --> 01:22:27,969 look at people's motivations I think in 1954 01:22:31,859 --> 01:22:30,219 this field as you're pointing out there 1955 01:22:33,270 --> 01:22:31,869 is quite a bit of mystery mongering 1956 01:22:35,819 --> 01:22:33,280 going on I think that would be a good 1957 01:22:38,939 --> 01:22:35,829 term for it I do think that we do have a 1958 01:22:42,959 --> 01:22:38,949 a serious lack of critical thinking out 1959 01:22:45,330 --> 01:22:42,969 there unfortunately but what we need is 1960 01:22:48,330 --> 01:22:45,340 really the powers of diagnostic science 1961 01:22:49,919 --> 01:22:48,340 in terms of the Chupacabra soror for 1962 01:22:51,810 --> 01:22:49,929 instance Academy relation phenomenon we 1963 01:22:54,089 --> 01:22:51,820 need veterinary pathologists involved we 1964 01:22:55,589 --> 01:22:54,099 need diagnostic labs involved we need 1965 01:22:58,620 --> 01:22:55,599 proper crime-scene investigative 1966 01:23:02,459 --> 01:22:58,630 techniques and procedures to be adhered 1967 01:23:04,859 --> 01:23:02,469 to there needs to be a really solid set 1968 01:23:06,810 --> 01:23:04,869 of protocols in place for proper 1969 01:23:09,330 --> 01:23:06,820 investigation because then people like 1970 01:23:11,729 --> 01:23:09,340 you wouldn't be able to look at it and 1971 01:23:13,620 --> 01:23:11,739 and look at the data that's gathered and 1972 01:23:15,629 --> 01:23:13,630 and just simply toss it aside if there's 1973 01:23:17,129 --> 01:23:15,639 something real there I think you're 1974 01:23:20,189 --> 01:23:17,139 open-minded enough and that you would 1975 01:23:22,649 --> 01:23:20,199 you would be able to critically look at 1976 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:22,659 data and and if there was something 1977 01:23:25,589 --> 01:23:24,489 there that that suggested something I 1978 01:23:28,290 --> 01:23:25,599 strange I think you'd be the first 1979 01:23:30,839 --> 01:23:28,300 person to admit that but you get to that 1980 01:23:35,370 --> 01:23:30,849 place we were spinning our wheels well 1981 01:23:37,350 --> 01:23:35,380 yeah a long time in fact my previous 1982 01:23:39,089 --> 01:23:37,360 book is called scientific Criminal 1983 01:23:41,490 --> 01:23:39,099 Investigation how to solve unexplained 1984 01:23:44,370 --> 01:23:41,500 mysteries and in that book I lay out 1985 01:23:46,890 --> 01:23:44,380 what I think are and what other put many 1986 01:23:50,399 --> 01:23:46,900 even many believers have have said are 1987 01:23:51,689 --> 01:23:50,409 very good you know basing guidelines for 1988 01:23:53,250 --> 01:23:51,699 doing these and these sorts 1989 01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:53,260 investigations and doing it from a 1990 01:23:58,410 --> 01:23:55,449 scientific critical perspective and and 1991 01:24:00,510 --> 01:23:58,420 again the purpose isn't to debunk I 1992 01:24:02,430 --> 01:24:00,520 don't consider myself a debunker and I 1993 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:02,440 don't really like that term I do 1994 01:24:07,799 --> 01:24:06,130 investigations and I am happy to to go 1995 01:24:09,419 --> 01:24:07,809 wherever the investigation leads and the 1996 01:24:11,609 --> 01:24:09,429 answer is that there's a ghost here then 1997 01:24:14,220 --> 01:24:11,619 that's great if the answer there's a you 1998 01:24:16,950 --> 01:24:14,230 know I don't I don't care I just want to 1999 01:24:19,740 --> 01:24:16,960 get to the truth and and that's that's 2000 01:24:21,330 --> 01:24:19,750 what I try to do and and you know I hope 2001 01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:21,340 that people recognize it even if they 2002 01:24:23,130 --> 01:24:21,730 just 2003 01:24:25,740 --> 01:24:23,140 with me even if they think I'm too 2004 01:24:27,420 --> 01:24:25,750 skeptical or whatever else at least if 2005 01:24:29,070 --> 01:24:27,430 they if they read my work with an open 2006 01:24:31,290 --> 01:24:29,080 mind and they say oh yeah well you know 2007 01:24:32,970 --> 01:24:31,300 he's doing the best he can and I may 2008 01:24:34,770 --> 01:24:32,980 have not enough solved some of these 2009 01:24:37,620 --> 01:24:34,780 mysteries to everyone's satisfaction but 2010 01:24:39,870 --> 01:24:37,630 I needed my bathroom frankly if somebody 2011 01:24:42,060 --> 01:24:39,880 has a better solution then bring it to 2012 01:24:44,430 --> 01:24:42,070 me if I'm wrong about a fact or an 2013 01:24:47,100 --> 01:24:44,440 argument then tell me I don't care I'd 2014 01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:47,110 be happy to change but oftentimes I just 2015 01:24:50,670 --> 01:24:48,489 have my critics just sort of take 2016 01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:50,680 potshots at me and and they just they 2017 01:24:54,390 --> 01:24:52,210 they have a little couple digs here or 2018 01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:54,400 there and they tell me that they think 2019 01:24:58,500 --> 01:24:56,170 I'm wrong but they don't have a better 2020 01:24:59,850 --> 01:24:58,510 answer I say okay what's that what do 2021 01:25:01,740 --> 01:24:59,860 you got yeah this is what I've been 2022 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:01,750 doing what do you got and they they 2023 01:25:04,860 --> 01:25:03,970 don't have any answer so that's you know 2024 01:25:06,690 --> 01:25:04,870 I mean come on 2025 01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:06,700 if you comes with the territory there's 2026 01:25:10,590 --> 01:25:08,650 there's just no way around it it's it's 2027 01:25:13,979 --> 01:25:10,600 unavoidable I want to kind of backtrack 2028 01:25:16,530 --> 01:25:13,989 a little bit here and look at typhoid 2029 01:25:18,810 --> 01:25:16,540 Madelyn who I think is a very very 2030 01:25:21,030 --> 01:25:18,820 important figure in this whole mystery I 2031 01:25:23,160 --> 01:25:21,040 am talking about Madelyn tolentino who 2032 01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:23,170 you mentioned earlier in the show had 2033 01:25:27,930 --> 01:25:25,690 the very celebrated sighting and the 2034 01:25:31,440 --> 01:25:27,940 spin-off illustration that has become 2035 01:25:33,870 --> 01:25:31,450 pretty much the sort of go-to picture 2036 01:25:34,590 --> 01:25:33,880 when people publish anything about a 2037 01:25:38,220 --> 01:25:34,600 chupacabra 2038 01:25:40,350 --> 01:25:38,230 what let's look at her case quickly and 2039 01:25:43,229 --> 01:25:40,360 dissect it a little bit and you found 2040 01:25:45,690 --> 01:25:43,239 some pretty interesting facts that seem 2041 01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:45,700 to indicate that there's possibly a 2042 01:25:50,820 --> 01:25:47,650 little confabulation going on that there 2043 01:25:52,260 --> 01:25:50,830 there may be you know the story is kind 2044 01:25:53,340 --> 01:25:52,270 of grown a little bit over the years why 2045 01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:53,350 don't want you to take us through the 2046 01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:56,170 through her case quickly sure and then 2047 01:26:00,810 --> 01:25:57,730 look at it how it has progressed over 2048 01:26:02,820 --> 01:26:00,820 the years sure yeah one thing you have 2049 01:26:04,410 --> 01:26:02,830 to keep in mind is the the chupacabra 2050 01:26:06,300 --> 01:26:04,420 didn't emerge in a vacuum I mean this 2051 01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:06,310 didn't come out of nowhere there was a 2052 01:26:11,130 --> 01:26:09,010 pre-existing belief in Puerto Rico and 2053 01:26:13,290 --> 01:26:11,140 elsewhere that something weird was going 2054 01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:13,300 on that there were animals have been 2055 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:15,610 found you know supposedly drained of 2056 01:26:19,830 --> 01:26:17,170 blood and I used the word supposedly 2057 01:26:22,860 --> 01:26:19,840 advisedly in earlier in 1995 2058 01:26:24,750 --> 01:26:22,870 particularly in March of 1995 and so but 2059 01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:24,760 nobody had actually seen it they just 2060 01:26:28,110 --> 01:26:26,770 found these dead animals and so there 2061 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:28,120 was a there was some belief that 2062 01:26:32,430 --> 01:26:29,770 something weird was going on but nobody 2063 01:26:35,070 --> 01:26:32,440 had given a description until mrs. 2064 01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:35,080 Tolentino and her description she said 2065 01:26:38,020 --> 01:26:35,570 that she 2066 01:26:38,890 --> 01:26:38,030 this this creature during the second 2067 01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:38,900 week of August 2068 01:26:41,710 --> 01:26:40,250 she doesn't remember the exact date but 2069 01:26:44,170 --> 01:26:41,720 she said it was a weekday so it would be 2070 01:26:46,390 --> 01:26:44,180 between August 7th and 11th and she said 2071 01:26:48,610 --> 01:26:46,400 that she saw this thing for three to 2072 01:26:50,740 --> 01:26:48,620 five minutes and that her mother woke 2073 01:26:54,910 --> 01:26:50,750 her up and she looked outside her window 2074 01:26:58,600 --> 01:26:54,920 and and she saw this this weird creature 2075 01:27:01,420 --> 01:26:58,610 it had again had distinctive spikes down 2076 01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:01,430 the back depending on which time you 2077 01:27:04,330 --> 01:27:02,690 talked or she said there's actually 2078 01:27:07,570 --> 01:27:04,340 closer to three feet tall when I 2079 01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:07,580 interviewed her in in 1990 and excuse me 2080 01:27:13,450 --> 01:27:11,330 in 2010 she basically said that that it 2081 01:27:16,510 --> 01:27:13,460 was that the descriptions were actually 2082 01:27:18,850 --> 01:27:16,520 much smaller than what she had seen and 2083 01:27:20,650 --> 01:27:18,860 she said it had human hands its eyes 2084 01:27:23,770 --> 01:27:20,660 were big it didn't have nose just two 2085 01:27:25,990 --> 01:27:23,780 little dots the creatures skin was was 2086 01:27:28,780 --> 01:27:26,000 grayish it looked kind of like like like 2087 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:28,790 leather wet and wrinkled it was just a 2088 01:27:35,020 --> 01:27:31,930 very very detailed in fact I would argue 2089 01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:35,030 impossibly detailed description so 2090 01:27:38,650 --> 01:27:37,130 that's that's sort of where that's sort 2091 01:27:40,660 --> 01:27:38,660 of where she came from with it so in 2092 01:27:43,290 --> 01:27:40,670 other words what you're suggesting here 2093 01:27:45,940 --> 01:27:43,300 is is the descriptions that she supplied 2094 01:27:49,420 --> 01:27:45,950 investigators initially and then in your 2095 01:27:51,130 --> 01:27:49,430 interview indicates something too much 2096 01:27:52,480 --> 01:27:51,140 detail that there's no way that she 2097 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:52,490 could possibly at night have seen 2098 01:27:58,180 --> 01:27:56,210 something so clearly with so much detail 2099 01:28:06,400 --> 01:27:58,190 and not to mention her recall of the 2100 01:28:08,770 --> 01:28:06,410 event itself it was a daytime sighting I 2101 01:28:10,810 --> 01:28:08,780 stand corrected sorry no no that's fine 2102 01:28:13,090 --> 01:28:10,820 there's a lot of confusion around it but 2103 01:28:14,830 --> 01:28:13,100 yeah she but again this is this is where 2104 01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:14,840 it got interesting because when I read 2105 01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:17,210 her account that's published in in 2106 01:28:20,980 --> 01:28:19,610 Corrales his book it was very very 2107 01:28:23,710 --> 01:28:20,990 detailed and she said things for example 2108 01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:23,720 that that there was a young boy nearby 2109 01:28:27,670 --> 01:28:25,610 that had actually chased the chupacabra 2110 01:28:30,070 --> 01:28:27,680 into a nearby field and attacked and 2111 01:28:32,410 --> 01:28:30,080 grabbed it and pry its mouth open and 2112 01:28:35,140 --> 01:28:32,420 looked at its teeth and the chupacabra 2113 01:28:36,910 --> 01:28:35,150 jumped away and escaped and this is kind 2114 01:28:38,950 --> 01:28:36,920 of remarkable you know I think this is 2115 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:38,960 this is odd this young boy you had the 2116 01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:40,610 presence of mind to it you know to do 2117 01:28:45,190 --> 01:28:42,770 this this you know attack the chupacabra 2118 01:28:46,179 --> 01:28:45,200 basically and come away unscathed and 2119 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:46,189 there's 2120 01:28:49,419 --> 01:28:47,570 all these really really interesting 2121 01:28:51,009 --> 01:28:49,429 weird detailed things for example in 2122 01:28:53,620 --> 01:28:51,019 original description she said that the 2123 01:28:56,739 --> 01:28:53,630 chupacabra had no genitals and no anus 2124 01:29:00,399 --> 01:28:56,749 she said that its genitals or the the 2125 01:29:02,799 --> 01:29:00,409 quote is plain and sealed so it just 2126 01:29:05,080 --> 01:29:02,809 struck me as odd that she she she gave 2127 01:29:07,179 --> 01:29:05,090 such an incredibly detailed description 2128 01:29:09,219 --> 01:29:07,189 after nobody had seen anything I mean 2129 01:29:10,629 --> 01:29:09,229 you know they're just weird things you 2130 01:29:12,370 --> 01:29:10,639 know out of corn their eye nobody had 2131 01:29:13,359 --> 01:29:12,380 given any description all of a sudden we 2132 01:29:15,250 --> 01:29:13,369 have this incredibly detailed 2133 01:29:17,859 --> 01:29:15,260 description I'll tell you what what's 2134 01:29:20,140 --> 01:29:17,869 also incredibly detailed is the fact 2135 01:29:22,209 --> 01:29:20,150 that our benefactors have to have a few 2136 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:22,219 moments at bat before we continue here's 2137 01:29:26,919

01:34:10,380 network we return with a fascinating 2242 01:34:14,810 --> 01:34:13,140 description it sounds like one guy kind 2243 01:34:16,790 --> 01:34:14,820 of embellished it more than it might 2244 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:16,800 have otherwise been with Benjamin 2245 01:34:20,870 --> 01:34:18,930 Radford the book is tracking the 2246 01:34:22,610 --> 01:34:20,880 Chupacabra Chris O'Brien's the co-host 2247 01:34:26,180 --> 01:34:22,620 um Jean Steinberg you're in the para 2248 01:34:28,520 --> 01:34:26,190 cast so is that all that was a simple 2249 01:34:30,350 --> 01:34:28,530 embellishment of something very simple 2250 01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:30,360 no in fact it turned out to be very 2251 01:34:36,740 --> 01:34:34,290 complex case because after I read her 2252 01:34:38,570 --> 01:34:36,750 original interviews Valentino's original 2253 01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:38,580 interviews some parts that were just 2254 01:34:42,920 --> 01:34:40,050 contradictory they just didn't make 2255 01:34:45,230 --> 01:34:42,930 sense this the and what struck me was 2256 01:34:47,750 --> 01:34:45,240 that this is the this understand this is 2257 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:47,760 the best you know eyewitness account of 2258 01:34:52,430 --> 01:34:50,130 the chupacabra ever at any time by 2259 01:34:54,170 --> 01:34:52,440 anyone and yet you if you look more 2260 01:34:56,870 --> 01:34:54,180 closely at her sighting in the details 2261 01:34:59,570 --> 01:34:56,880 an original account it's just it's just 2262 01:35:02,300 --> 01:34:59,580 full of just strange things that just 2263 01:35:03,830 --> 01:35:02,310 don't just very logical and so I tried 2264 01:35:05,630 --> 01:35:03,840 to figure out well where could she have 2265 01:35:07,370 --> 01:35:05,640 seen this strange things that are 2266 01:35:10,430 --> 01:35:07,380 illogical I think I want an explanation 2267 01:35:12,860 --> 01:35:10,440 as to what you mean well for example she 2268 01:35:15,230 --> 01:35:12,870 said that III give one example of the 2269 01:35:17,810 --> 01:35:15,240 the young boy that supposedly ran down 2270 01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:17,820 to the chupacabra chased it into a field 2271 01:35:22,670 --> 01:35:20,850 pride its mouth open looked at its teeth 2272 01:35:24,950 --> 01:35:22,680 and then let it escape 2273 01:35:27,710 --> 01:35:24,960 that's strange and my mind's all so 2274 01:35:28,850 --> 01:35:27,720 illogical that a young boy that could do 2275 01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:28,860 that to a creature that's supposedly 2276 01:35:33,020 --> 01:35:31,410 attacked and killed cattle there's one 2277 01:35:34,270 --> 01:35:33,030 example right there pretty tough kid 2278 01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:34,280 well 2279 01:35:38,500 --> 01:35:36,170 things because they grow I'm tough 2280 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:38,510 around code Rico I'm the groom tough all 2281 01:35:42,370 --> 01:35:40,610 over nowadays you have to be but I don't 2282 01:35:46,270 --> 01:35:42,380 know I don't think I could defeat of a 2283 01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:46,280 maybe he was a shadow kid yeah unless he 2284 01:35:49,750 --> 01:35:47,930 has a brown belt or a black belt or 2285 01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:49,760 something but what I would do is run in 2286 01:35:54,250 --> 01:35:51,890 the other direction as fast as I could 2287 01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:54,260 slaying at the top of my lungs you would 2288 01:35:58,450 --> 01:35:56,810 say in fact if you really tolentino his 2289 01:36:00,340 --> 01:35:58,460 original account she said that her 2290 01:36:03,130 --> 01:36:00,350 mother ran out the door to change this 2291 01:36:06,220 --> 01:36:03,140 creature again I'll do that mother well 2292 01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:06,230 I heard of the of the mother protecting 2293 01:36:11,530 --> 01:36:08,570 her cubs but you know what that's pretty 2294 01:36:13,300 --> 01:36:11,540 hardcore sure so again they're just 2295 01:36:15,550 --> 01:36:13,310 parts of this that just weren't making 2296 01:36:18,010 --> 01:36:15,560 sense even on even on the level of you 2297 01:36:20,710 --> 01:36:18,020 know weird cryptid accounts and so the 2298 01:36:22,420 --> 01:36:20,720 question then became well well because 2299 01:36:23,980 --> 01:36:22,430 she gave such a unique distinctive 2300 01:36:25,630 --> 01:36:23,990 description where could she have found 2301 01:36:27,190 --> 01:36:25,640 that where could she have gotten then 2302 01:36:28,420 --> 01:36:27,200 and I searched all around the front 2303 01:36:30,670 --> 01:36:28,430 figure out where my she was seen this 2304 01:36:33,340 --> 01:36:30,680 and I finally figured out where she got 2305 01:36:36,340 --> 01:36:33,350 it and the answer is that the Tolentino 2306 01:36:37,600 --> 01:36:36,350 assad the original chupacabra around the 2307 01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:37,610 same time that millions of other people 2308 01:36:43,750 --> 01:36:40,010 saw the original chupacabra and that was 2309 01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:43,760 in a 1995 film called species she had 2310 01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:45,890 actually seen this this film and the 2311 01:36:50,800 --> 01:36:48,770 monster in that film looks almost 2312 01:36:52,540 --> 01:36:50,810 exactly like the chupacabra that she 2313 01:36:54,910 --> 01:36:52,550 later described it was just remarkable 2314 01:36:56,980 --> 01:36:54,920 the more I looked into it I got all the 2315 01:36:59,020 --> 01:36:56,990 information I could about the the the 2316 01:37:00,370 --> 01:36:59,030 film species and the monster turned out 2317 01:37:03,450 --> 01:37:00,380 it was actually designed by H R Giger 2318 01:37:06,100 --> 01:37:03,460 the the artist who created the alien and 2319 01:37:08,950 --> 01:37:06,110 actually won an Academy Award for his 2320 01:37:11,530 --> 01:37:08,960 work in the movie aliens and he designed 2321 01:37:13,570 --> 01:37:11,540 that the species monster called SIL is 2322 01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:13,580 just the parallels are just amazing in 2323 01:37:18,310 --> 01:37:15,410 fact I spend chapter in my book just 2324 01:37:20,140 --> 01:37:18,320 giving all the reasons why the the the 2325 01:37:22,900 --> 01:37:20,150 original Puerto Rican chupacabra was 2326 01:37:25,270 --> 01:37:22,910 lifted directly from from this film I 2327 01:37:27,220 --> 01:37:25,280 have no idea what you saw if anything I 2328 01:37:30,250 --> 01:37:27,230 wasn't there there were apparently no 2329 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:30,260 other eyewitnesses in one account she 2330 01:37:33,670 --> 01:37:31,730 said that her mother and this other 2331 01:37:36,910 --> 01:37:33,680 young boy saw it another account she 2332 01:37:38,890 --> 01:37:36,920 said that only she saw it so I have no 2333 01:37:40,690 --> 01:37:38,900 idea what usually saw but I can tell you 2334 01:37:42,850 --> 01:37:40,700 that it's crystal clear to me and my 2335 01:37:44,710 --> 01:37:42,860 research that that the original 2336 01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:44,720 description that that she came up with 2337 01:37:47,500 --> 01:37:46,610 for the the monster of the creature that 2338 01:37:49,569 --> 01:37:47,510 she saw 2339 01:37:52,509 --> 01:37:49,579 was came directly from the sci-fi film 2340 01:37:54,970 --> 01:37:52,519 and I think that she I think that she 2341 01:37:56,680 --> 01:37:54,980 just got confused I think she just 2342 01:37:59,830 --> 01:37:56,690 mistook something that she saw in a 2343 01:38:01,180 --> 01:37:59,840 movie with real life and I know that for 2344 01:38:01,899 --> 01:38:01,190 a lot of people and love listeners 2345 01:38:04,419 --> 01:38:01,909 they'll think that well that's 2346 01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:04,429 ridiculous people don't do that in fact 2347 01:38:08,410 --> 01:38:07,010 people do that in my book I actually 2348 01:38:11,830 --> 01:38:08,420 give a couple different examples of 2349 01:38:14,250 --> 01:38:11,840 where this is these are proven cases 2350 01:38:17,229 --> 01:38:14,260 where people have have reported seeing 2351 01:38:19,750 --> 01:38:17,239 creatures and monsters in real life that 2352 01:38:21,279 --> 01:38:19,760 were taken directly from films it's a 2353 01:38:23,379 --> 01:38:21,289 it's a psychological process called 2354 01:38:25,209 --> 01:38:23,389 confabulation and it absolutely does 2355 01:38:26,770 --> 01:38:25,219 happen and I believe that that's what 2356 01:38:28,509 --> 01:38:26,780 happened with her I don't I don't think 2357 01:38:30,549 --> 01:38:28,519 that Tolentino was a liar I don't think 2358 01:38:32,770 --> 01:38:30,559 she's a publicity hound I don't think 2359 01:38:34,930 --> 01:38:32,780 she's a hoaxer I think that she just got 2360 01:38:36,250 --> 01:38:34,940 confused you know someone gets confused 2361 01:38:39,549 --> 01:38:36,260 the question is here if you see 2362 01:38:40,950 --> 01:38:39,559 something alien okay to your experience 2363 01:38:43,419 --> 01:38:40,960 you don't understand it 2364 01:38:45,129 --> 01:38:43,429 wouldn't it be common for somebody to 2365 01:38:47,169 --> 01:38:45,139 say you know what this is what I 2366 01:38:50,109 --> 01:38:47,179 experience in the pop culture the pop 2367 01:38:52,060 --> 01:38:50,119 culture is your inflow so you have maybe 2368 01:38:55,299 --> 01:38:52,070 this popular monster movie for example 2369 01:38:57,729 --> 01:38:55,309 it could be flying saucers you know 2370 01:39:00,129 --> 01:38:57,739 especially all those UFO movies in the 2371 01:39:02,620 --> 01:39:00,139 1950s The Day the Earth Stood Still I 2372 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:02,630 think inspired lots of reports about 2373 01:39:07,029 --> 01:39:04,610 UFOs I'm speaking to somebody who thinks 2374 01:39:09,009 --> 01:39:07,039 there's a lot of significance to a lot 2375 01:39:11,350 --> 01:39:09,019 of these events and that's real as a 2376 01:39:13,270 --> 01:39:11,360 reality to be found there but when you 2377 01:39:15,490 --> 01:39:13,280 see something alien to your experience 2378 01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:15,500 the easiest thing to do would be to 2379 01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:18,050 apply it to something you know to 2380 01:39:23,589 --> 01:39:22,010 explain it mmm yeah and and that would 2381 01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:23,599 be a good explanation except for the 2382 01:39:28,779 --> 01:39:27,170 fact that that she says in in the 2383 01:39:31,180 --> 01:39:28,789 interview that appears in sky crosses 2384 01:39:31,839 --> 01:39:31,190 book and also I discussed this at least 2385 01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:31,849 in my book 2386 01:39:36,100 --> 01:39:34,130 is she says that she believed that the 2387 01:39:38,919 --> 01:39:36,110 events that were happening in the movie 2388 01:39:39,700 --> 01:39:38,929 species were happening at the time in 2389 01:39:41,410 --> 01:39:39,710 Puerto Rico 2390 01:39:43,540 --> 01:39:41,420 this is this is an important distinction 2391 01:39:45,490 --> 01:39:43,550 because she didn't just say you know the 2392 01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:45,500 monster I saw it was kind of like that 2393 01:39:49,689 --> 01:39:48,050 movie she was saying that that she 2394 01:39:52,569 --> 01:39:49,699 thought that things were happening that 2395 01:39:55,299 --> 01:39:52,579 the the events in the movie species were 2396 01:39:58,629 --> 01:39:55,309 going on in Puerto Rico at the time and 2397 01:39:59,860 --> 01:39:58,639 the film species the first scene is 2398 01:40:03,700 --> 01:39:59,870 actually set in 2399 01:40:08,220 --> 01:40:03,710 Rico at the Arecibo Observatory and he 2400 01:40:11,020 --> 01:40:08,230 said in 1995 and so it's pretty clear to 2401 01:40:13,150 --> 01:40:11,030 in to my a to my rating and again people 2402 01:40:15,850 --> 01:40:13,160 can judge for themselves I have lots of 2403 01:40:18,670 --> 01:40:15,860 quotes in the book in terms of what she 2404 01:40:20,260 --> 01:40:18,680 actually said that she wasn't just 2405 01:40:21,970 --> 01:40:20,270 saying oh it kind of reminded me of it 2406 01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:21,980 she was saying that this looks exactly 2407 01:40:27,850 --> 01:40:25,970 like it and the question comes like well 2408 01:40:30,640 --> 01:40:27,860 if you're going to claim that she was 2409 01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:30,650 merely using the movie species to 2410 01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:33,170 describe what she saw well then you 2411 01:40:37,150 --> 01:40:34,730 would have to be saying that it's just a 2412 01:40:39,490 --> 01:40:37,160 remarkable coincidence the the monster 2413 01:40:41,800 --> 01:40:39,500 that she saw looked almost exactly like 2414 01:40:43,900 --> 01:40:41,810 this movie monster well maybe it was the 2415 01:40:46,420 --> 01:40:43,910 one event that she had seen recently and 2416 01:40:49,570 --> 01:40:46,430 that is a larger question do we know 2417 01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:49,580 that she saw that movie yes we know that 2418 01:40:55,390 --> 01:40:51,050 for a couple different reasons okay the 2419 01:40:57,430 --> 01:40:55,400 first one is that that that I asked her 2420 01:40:59,800 --> 01:40:57,440 point-blank when I interviewed her in 2421 01:41:02,050 --> 01:40:59,810 2010 and in Puerto Rico I said did you 2422 01:41:05,890 --> 01:41:02,060 see the movie species she said yes more 2423 01:41:07,720 --> 01:41:05,900 importantly that her her account of this 2424 01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:07,730 actually also appears in in Scott 2425 01:41:13,390 --> 01:41:11,570 Corrales is 1997 book chupacabras and in 2426 01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:13,400 there she she states very explicitly 2427 01:41:18,970 --> 01:41:16,610 that she saw the creature there and and 2428 01:41:21,460 --> 01:41:18,980 she saw the movie after or before her 2429 01:41:23,740 --> 01:41:21,470 event she saw the movie before her 2430 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:23,750 sighting okay so was she frightened by 2431 01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:25,610 the movie is that maybe the connection 2432 01:41:29,590 --> 01:41:27,650 that the movie just scared her out of 2433 01:41:31,990 --> 01:41:29,600 her wits and suddenly she's looking for 2434 01:41:34,180 --> 01:41:32,000 chupacabras everywhere again I I have no 2435 01:41:37,870 --> 01:41:34,190 idea I didn't I didn't psychoanalyze her 2436 01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:37,880 I think that she she seemed pretty 2437 01:41:43,090 --> 01:41:41,210 matter-of-fact about it to me I you know 2438 01:41:44,710 --> 01:41:43,100 again I wasn't there I don't know what 2439 01:41:47,980 --> 01:41:44,720 she saw if anything it is interesting 2440 01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:47,990 that in her account with me she was 2441 01:41:52,900 --> 01:41:49,730 sleeping right before this account 2442 01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:52,910 before right before her sighting is it 2443 01:41:56,980 --> 01:41:54,290 possible if you dreamed the whole thing 2444 01:41:59,700 --> 01:41:56,990 I don't know but I can tell you is that 2445 01:42:01,810 --> 01:41:59,710 nothing about her her original 2446 01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:01,820 Chupacabra account which spawned 2447 01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:03,290 essentially the whole chupacabra 2448 01:42:08,830 --> 01:42:06,170 phenomena is credible okay spawn the 2449 01:42:10,660 --> 01:42:08,840 Chupacabra phenomenon so you're 2450 01:42:12,130 --> 01:42:10,670 suggesting then let's kind of sum it up 2451 01:42:12,820 --> 01:42:12,140 a little bit before we get to listen to 2452 01:42:14,860 --> 01:42:12,830 questions and 2453 01:42:17,020 --> 01:42:14,870 or commissions from Chris okay so we are 2454 01:42:20,010 --> 01:42:17,030 suggesting here based on what you're 2455 01:42:23,290 --> 01:42:20,020 saying that we have this one event 2456 01:42:26,620 --> 01:42:23,300 possibly influenced by this monster 2457 01:42:29,590 --> 01:42:26,630 movie and other events grow out of it 2458 01:42:32,620 --> 01:42:29,600 everyone who reported chupacabra either 2459 01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:32,630 saw species or read her account or what 2460 01:42:36,700 --> 01:42:34,610 I wouldn't say everyone cuz that's 2461 01:42:39,790 --> 01:42:36,710 that's pretty general but certainly if 2462 01:42:42,100 --> 01:42:39,800 you look at many of the many of the 2463 01:42:44,170 --> 01:42:42,110 reports of the chupacabra reports in the 2464 01:42:45,970 --> 01:42:44,180 wake of her sighting they were directly 2465 01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:45,980 influenced by her sighting and they 2466 01:42:50,110 --> 01:42:47,930 always say that themselves they say you 2467 01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:50,120 know I saw it and I gave a couple quotes 2468 01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:52,130 in the book they witnesses will say it 2469 01:42:57,660 --> 01:42:55,130 looked like the the the the drawing I 2470 01:43:00,580 --> 01:42:57,670 saw in the newspaper of Tolentino saw 2471 01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:00,590 and because the the her description that 2472 01:43:04,300 --> 01:43:02,810 the the famous drawing appeared not only 2473 01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:04,310 on the internet but on the front page of 2474 01:43:08,410 --> 01:43:06,530 the local newspaper so this had widely 2475 01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:08,420 this this was seen widely throughout the 2476 01:43:13,090 --> 01:43:10,610 island and elsewhere so basically you're 2477 01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:13,100 saying here that it seems that almost 2478 01:43:18,940 --> 01:43:16,130 every other encounter reported either 2479 01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:18,950 they saw this information or someone 2480 01:43:24,550 --> 01:43:22,330 told them something that influenced it I 2481 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:24,560 think that's the true for the vast 2482 01:43:28,210 --> 01:43:26,210 majority of them and the other point 2483 01:43:30,310 --> 01:43:28,220 that should be made is that even though 2484 01:43:32,710 --> 01:43:30,320 you'll read in many places including the 2485 01:43:34,690 --> 01:43:32,720 Scott's book that there were dozens or 2486 01:43:36,940 --> 01:43:34,700 hundreds of other similar eyewitness 2487 01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:36,950 accounts to Tolentino z-- in fact there 2488 01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:38,810 weren't as far as I can tell there were 2489 01:43:43,150 --> 01:43:41,210 a handful of them okay so this got wrong 2490 01:43:45,130 --> 01:43:43,160 dead wrong about this yes 2491 01:43:46,660 --> 01:43:45,140 okay so if he's saying this how many 2492 01:43:49,150 --> 01:43:46,670 cases does he have in his book that 2493 01:43:51,370 --> 01:43:49,160 books a few years back so I don't recall 2494 01:43:54,700 --> 01:43:51,380 it offhand did he have a lot of cases 2495 01:43:58,060 --> 01:43:54,710 just a few what well it's important to 2496 01:43:59,680 --> 01:43:58,070 make a distinction between someone the 2497 01:44:01,210 --> 01:43:59,690 problem is that the people will lump 2498 01:44:02,830 --> 01:44:01,220 them together they'll say well here's 2499 01:44:05,530 --> 01:44:02,840 the Chupacabra report well what does 2500 01:44:07,540 --> 01:44:05,540 that mean oftentimes all Chupacabra 2501 01:44:09,910 --> 01:44:07,550 report means is that someone found a 2502 01:44:12,370 --> 01:44:09,920 dead animal they're not they're very 2503 01:44:13,990 --> 01:44:12,380 very specifically not reporting having 2504 01:44:16,270 --> 01:44:14,000 seen a creature certainly okay so 2505 01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:16,280 they're looking yes the end result which 2506 01:44:19,930 --> 01:44:18,770 may or may not be something strange this 2507 01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:19,940 is not strange 2508 01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:22,370 Benjamin Radford last strange guy at all 2509 01:44:25,630 --> 01:44:25,130 seems we don't always agree with him but

questions from our own hands 2565 01:46:56,020 --> 01:46:52,790 but I've got a couple of my own before 2566 01:46:58,210 --> 01:46:56,030 we go on right into the other questions 2567 01:46:59,800 --> 01:46:58,220 Chris okay and this is something that I 2568 01:47:02,200 --> 01:46:59,810 think is really important when you're 2569 01:47:05,350 --> 01:47:02,210 dealing with animal deaths and that is 2570 01:47:07,750 --> 01:47:05,360 physical evidence tracks some sort of 2571 01:47:11,710 --> 01:47:07,760 veterinary examinations based on your 2572 01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:11,720 research Ben how many cases feature some 2573 01:47:16,480 --> 01:47:14,290 sort of analytical scientific process 2574 01:47:20,140 --> 01:47:16,490 post-mortem on these animals to your 2575 01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:20,150 knowledge because of course people will 2576 01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:21,890 you know people can come up with any 2577 01:47:27,610 --> 01:47:24,410 sort of course they want I I would say 2578 01:47:30,760 --> 01:47:27,620 very very few I would say probably less 2579 01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:30,770 than 5% to the best line but we do have 2580 01:47:39,700 --> 01:47:34,730 a body of data that we could refer to if 2581 01:47:41,050 --> 01:47:39,710 we dug deep enough sure for example I 2582 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:41,060 mean there's there were a couple 2583 01:47:45,190 --> 01:47:43,370 veterinarians who were working in Puerto 2584 01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:45,200 Rico at the time at the time meaning 2585 01:47:51,220 --> 01:47:49,610 1996 1987 who examined many of these 2586 01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:51,230 creatures post-mortem I think hundreds 2587 01:47:53,890 --> 01:47:51,890 of them 2588 01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:53,900 and their answer their conclusion was 2589 01:47:57,510 --> 01:47:55,370 that there were they were not in fact 2590 01:48:00,250 --> 01:47:57,520 draining the blood so in those cases 2591 01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:00,260 there the an autopsy and necropsy was 2592 01:48:02,830 --> 01:48:02,090 done and the answer was there was no 2593 01:48:05,730 --> 01:48:02,840 vampirism 2594 01:48:07,230 --> 01:48:05,740 did they find crushed trachea 2595 01:48:09,060 --> 01:48:07,240 when pipes that sort of thing sort of 2596 01:48:10,890 --> 01:48:09,070 trauma that would indicate you know your 2597 01:48:12,540 --> 01:48:10,900 working theory that many of these 2598 01:48:15,210 --> 01:48:12,550 probably were killed by some sort of 2599 01:48:18,150 --> 01:48:15,220 predator that would clamp on to the neck 2600 01:48:20,220 --> 01:48:18,160 area for instance yeah the the original 2601 01:48:21,540 --> 01:48:20,230 accounts in fact they were you could see 2602 01:48:23,580 --> 01:48:21,550 them I think there was a TV show called 2603 01:48:25,470 --> 01:48:23,590 is it real on National Geographic and 2604 01:48:27,270 --> 01:48:25,480 the one of the veterinarians was 2605 01:48:30,540 --> 01:48:27,280 featured on there and he discusses this 2606 01:48:33,330 --> 01:48:30,550 that as far as they could tell they were 2607 01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:33,340 just the victims ordinary predation how 2608 01:48:39,240 --> 01:48:36,370 about other physical trace evidence such 2609 01:48:42,570 --> 01:48:39,250 as animals like chickens inside a coop 2610 01:48:45,210 --> 01:48:42,580 that would be protected from what you 2611 01:48:47,790 --> 01:48:45,220 would think would be your standard Fox 2612 01:48:50,790 --> 01:48:47,800 or a wild dog or something like that do 2613 01:48:55,740 --> 01:48:50,800 we have any cases that feature dead 2614 01:48:57,150 --> 01:48:55,750 animals in a secure environment sure I 2615 01:49:00,030 --> 01:48:57,160 mean there's cases where you know 2616 01:49:03,480 --> 01:49:00,040 something got into the chicken coop you 2617 01:49:05,180 --> 01:49:03,490 know I don't doubt for a second that 2618 01:49:07,830 --> 01:49:05,190 something got into the chicken coop the 2619 01:49:10,170 --> 01:49:07,840 question is was it the chupacabra or was 2620 01:49:12,870 --> 01:49:10,180 it it was a dog or coyote I don't know 2621 01:49:14,670 --> 01:49:12,880 he would leave tracks wouldn't it yeah 2622 01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:14,680 and in fact in most cases they do find 2623 01:49:18,330 --> 01:49:17,530 dog or coyote tracks there okay here's 2624 01:49:22,560 --> 01:49:18,340 another one for you 2625 01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:22,570 what about samples of saliva other 2626 01:49:29,100 --> 01:49:24,610 physical evidence I I do seem to recall 2627 01:49:31,110 --> 01:49:29,110 that kind of unusual evidence was left 2628 01:49:33,750 --> 01:49:31,120 behind in the form of some sort of 2629 01:49:36,690 --> 01:49:33,760 saliva or some sort of fluids that it 2630 01:49:38,010 --> 01:49:36,700 was assumed came from the predator do 2631 01:49:42,030 --> 01:49:38,020 you know of any testing that has been 2632 01:49:44,300 --> 01:49:42,040 done right in fact in in Scott's book 2633 01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:44,310 there are multiple references to 2634 01:49:51,210 --> 01:49:48,370 chupacabra drool or slime or a scat or 2635 01:49:53,310 --> 01:49:51,220 things like that and in my research none 2636 01:49:55,110 --> 01:49:53,320 of it was credible I tracked down a 2637 01:49:57,990 --> 01:49:55,120 couple different cases in one case for 2638 01:49:59,460 --> 01:49:58,000 example mrs. Tolentino said that there 2639 01:50:01,290 --> 01:49:59,470 had been some slam collected by a 2640 01:50:05,820 --> 01:50:01,300 chupacabra researcher by the name of 2641 01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:05,830 Linda Moulton Howe and and and the 2642 01:50:10,230 --> 01:50:07,570 apparently according to Tolentino the 2643 01:50:12,780 --> 01:50:10,240 sort was this slime had been examined by 2644 01:50:15,570 --> 01:50:12,790 a chemist and and was not of this world 2645 01:50:19,300 --> 01:50:15,580 whatever that might mean and I actually 2646 01:50:20,650 --> 01:50:19,310 I actually contacted mrs. Howell 2647 01:50:23,230 --> 01:50:20,660 for the book and I said I'm just 2648 01:50:24,850 --> 01:50:23,240 wondering what was this an ounce of this 2649 01:50:26,980 --> 01:50:24,860 analysis that was done this alleged 2650 01:50:29,650 --> 01:50:26,990 chupacabra swine and her answer was 2651 01:50:32,500 --> 01:50:29,660 there was no slime there 2652 01:50:34,690 --> 01:50:32,510 you know tolentino simply wrong that 2653 01:50:37,660 --> 01:50:34,700 there was no analysis done no slime I 2654 01:50:40,420 --> 01:50:37,670 also talked to John Downs the center for 2655 01:50:42,550 --> 01:50:40,430 14 zoology and asked him about and he 2656 01:50:45,100 --> 01:50:42,560 said that he had some analysis done of 2657 01:50:45,490 --> 01:50:45,110 the slime and the results turned up 2658 01:50:48,910 --> 01:50:45,500 nothing 2659 01:50:52,030 --> 01:50:48,920 so to invest my knowledge all the 2660 01:50:54,450 --> 01:50:52,040 reports of chupacabra drool slime other 2661 01:50:56,650 --> 01:50:54,460 bodily excretions or whatever else 2662 01:50:59,350 --> 01:50:56,660 they're all just myths as far as I can 2663 01:51:02,140 --> 01:50:59,360 tell how about tracks now I do seem to 2664 01:51:04,390 --> 01:51:02,150 recall that unusual tracks were very 2665 01:51:06,820 --> 01:51:04,400 rare but there were a number of cases 2666 01:51:09,640 --> 01:51:06,830 that featured tracks that didn't conform 2667 01:51:13,480 --> 01:51:09,650 to your standard neighborhood predator 2668 01:51:15,460 --> 01:51:13,490 can you address that sure probably the 2669 01:51:19,960 --> 01:51:15,470 most famous chupacabra tracks were taken 2670 01:51:22,660 --> 01:51:19,970 in Florida and though I discussed that 2671 01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:22,670 and those in the book and the the 2672 01:51:26,740 --> 01:51:24,650 universal analysis was that they're 2673 01:51:28,290 --> 01:51:26,750 they're hoaxes now I don't know whether 2674 01:51:30,130 --> 01:51:28,300 the person that took the tracks 2675 01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:30,140 committed the hoax or that they 2676 01:51:35,290 --> 01:51:31,610 themselves were hoaxed but it seems 2677 01:51:36,700 --> 01:51:35,300 pretty clear that the those tracks just 2678 01:51:38,950 --> 01:51:36,710 simply are not credible they're not real 2679 01:51:41,590 --> 01:51:38,960 in fact esteban Sarmiento it was a 2680 01:51:44,410 --> 01:51:41,600 primatologist did an analysis of it and 2681 01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:44,420 he said there's no credibility to them 2682 01:51:50,530 --> 01:51:46,850 there were also tracks found in Kalama 2683 01:51:52,780 --> 01:51:50,540 chile at some of the attacks there and 2684 01:51:54,460 --> 01:51:52,790 those as far as anybody could tell I 2685 01:51:56,050 --> 01:51:54,470 think the the quote I don't have it from 2686 01:51:58,060 --> 01:51:56,060 me but as I recall the official said 2687 01:52:03,270 --> 01:51:58,070 that there were nothing that distinguish 2688 01:52:06,820 --> 01:52:03,280 it from mural dogs so if somebody has a 2689 01:52:08,590 --> 01:52:06,830 unique bizarre unknown Troopa copper 2690 01:52:10,420 --> 01:52:08,600 track or leadership a copper track I'll 2691 01:52:12,580 --> 01:52:10,430 be happy to see it but so far all the 2692 01:52:15,250 --> 01:52:12,590 ones that have been examined or either 2693 01:52:16,279 --> 01:52:15,260 hoaxes or of known animals well we're 2694 01:52:18,469 --> 01:52:16,289 kind of running out 2695 01:52:20,119 --> 01:52:18,479 of possibilities here for any sort of 2696 01:52:22,159 --> 01:52:20,129 definitive smoking gun evidence that 2697 01:52:23,299 --> 01:52:22,169 would suggest that this is something oh 2698 01:52:25,729 --> 01:52:23,309 hi strange 2699 01:52:28,189 --> 01:52:25,739 I think physical evidence is very 2700 01:52:30,099 --> 01:52:28,199 important especially in cases that 2701 01:52:34,069 --> 01:52:30,109 feature dead animals that leave behind 2702 01:52:36,259 --> 01:52:34,079 and you have physical evidence to to you 2703 01:52:39,199 --> 01:52:36,269 know bring the powers of diagnostic 2704 01:52:40,669 --> 01:52:39,209 science to bear on so you know I wanted 2705 01:52:42,889 --> 01:52:40,679 to make sure that we asked those 2706 01:52:45,739 --> 01:52:42,899 questions because I agree with you there 2707 01:52:46,939 --> 01:52:45,749 is very little if any evidence that 2708 01:52:49,779 --> 01:52:46,949 would suggest that we're dealing with 2709 01:52:55,669 --> 01:52:49,789 anything other than something mundane 2710 01:52:58,219 --> 01:52:55,679 like a a predatory attack by various 2711 01:53:01,429 --> 01:52:58,229 types of animals that tend to attack a 2712 01:53:04,429 --> 01:53:01,439 small livestock not saying that I 2713 01:53:06,409 --> 01:53:04,439 totally totally you know thinking that 2714 01:53:08,949 --> 01:53:06,419 this is all confabulation this is all 2715 01:53:10,939 --> 01:53:08,959 misidentified predator action I 2716 01:53:12,799 --> 01:53:10,949 personally have a sense that there is 2717 01:53:15,289 --> 01:53:12,809 something at the core of this I would 2718 01:53:21,919 --> 01:53:15,299 not want to go to Vegas and place money 2719 01:53:23,779 --> 01:53:21,929 on where do you think the mystery lies 2720 01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:23,789 what part of this do you think is not 2721 01:53:30,979 --> 01:53:27,449 explained well I you know again I think 2722 01:53:34,969 --> 01:53:30,989 the power of collective belief is a lot 2723 01:53:37,429 --> 01:53:34,979 more intense and has has more I think is 2724 01:53:40,339 --> 01:53:37,439 more of a subject that needs to you know 2725 01:53:42,919 --> 01:53:40,349 be looked at and further studied I've 2726 01:53:44,989 --> 01:53:42,929 had cases for instance of their parents 2727 01:53:48,679 --> 01:53:44,999 of a demon like figure a devil like 2728 01:53:53,149 --> 01:53:48,689 figure and even though the initial case 2729 01:53:55,250 --> 01:53:53,159 was probably a prank or a hoax all of a 2730 01:53:58,279 --> 01:53:55,260 sudden you have a flurry of very similar 2731 01:54:01,189 --> 01:53:58,289 type reports that spring up in the 2732 01:54:03,199 --> 01:54:01,199 subculture around it that are that 2733 01:54:06,259 --> 01:54:03,209 appear to have some sort of credibility 2734 01:54:07,729 --> 01:54:06,269 at their core no I know there's gonna be 2735 01:54:09,919 --> 01:54:07,739 people on the forums they're gonna tear 2736 01:54:13,369 --> 01:54:09,929 me a new one for that one but this is 2737 01:54:16,339 --> 01:54:13,379 something that I think is is is is a is 2738 01:54:18,829 --> 01:54:16,349 a potentially a very fruitful avenue of 2739 01:54:21,049 --> 01:54:18,839 Investigation and I don't think enough 2740 01:54:23,119 --> 01:54:21,059 work is being done about the power of 2741 01:54:25,759 --> 01:54:23,129 collective belief and how that can 2742 01:54:29,520 --> 01:54:25,769 actually potentially in my mind even 2743 01:54:32,160 --> 01:54:29,530 manifest real nuts-and-bolts phenomena 2744 01:54:35,250 --> 01:54:32,170 now that I've totally gotten myself in 2745 01:54:37,500 --> 01:54:35,260 trouble with our bunker skeptics on the 2746 01:54:39,270 --> 01:54:37,510 board well you know what that's gonna be 2747 01:54:40,850 --> 01:54:39,280 something where Ben's gonna leave here 2748 01:54:44,220 --> 01:54:40,860 and by the way Ben I must say this I 2749 01:54:46,380 --> 01:54:44,230 like you so much I want to invite you to 2750 01:54:48,930 --> 01:54:46,390 endure the grief if you have time 2751 01:54:50,880 --> 01:54:48,940 feel free to participate in our forums 2752 01:54:53,250 --> 01:54:50,890 I'm serious because I think you have a 2753 01:54:54,780 --> 01:54:53,260 lot of interesting input from this 2754 01:54:58,080 --> 01:54:54,790 interview a lot of interesting things to 2755 01:55:00,900 --> 01:54:58,090 say whether our listeners agree or not 2756 01:55:02,939 --> 01:55:00,910

02:00:36,690 who put up a blog entry complaining 2875 02:00:42,950 --> 02:00:40,110 because we decided to allow one poster 2876 02:00:44,990 --> 02:00:42,960 to post something another poster not to

but they're me more along 2883 02:01:03,920 --> 02:01:02,130 the lines of general I think cryptid 2884 02:01:05,690 --> 02:01:03,930 type questions and especially Bigfoot 2885 02:01:07,850 --> 02:01:05,700 but I want to I'm going to continue on 2886 02:01:10,910 --> 02:01:07,860 the Chupacabra topic here a little bit 2887 02:01:13,940 --> 02:01:10,920 we haven't talked at all about the most 2888 02:01:16,700 --> 02:01:13,950 recent incarnation of this mystery which 2889 02:01:20,150 --> 02:01:16,710 I think quite a bit of press has been 2890 02:01:25,490 --> 02:01:20,160 inked down in Texas with these mangy 2891 02:01:28,610 --> 02:01:25,500 looking coyote dog I forget what you 2892 02:01:31,490 --> 02:01:28,620 call them the kind of dog things and and 2893 02:01:34,700 --> 02:01:31,500 even a potentially a hairless raccoon 2894 02:01:36,710 --> 02:01:34,710 may have been found and had the 2895 02:01:39,770 --> 02:01:36,720 Chupacabra label put on him but let's 2896 02:01:41,750 --> 02:01:39,780 let's go ahead and discuss the 21st 2897 02:01:44,690 --> 02:01:41,760 century version of this as it has 2898 02:01:47,210 --> 02:01:44,700 manifested in the media in especially 2899 02:01:51,710 --> 02:01:47,220 Texas sure well we won't we address the 2900 02:01:53,510 --> 02:01:51,720 canine version of this thing yeah with a 2901 02:01:55,700 --> 02:01:53,520 few exceptions as you point out earlier 2902 02:01:58,430 --> 02:01:55,710 the the original chupacabra at the sort 2903 02:02:01,970 --> 02:01:58,440 of alien spikey backed species inspired 2904 02:02:03,690 --> 02:02:01,980 chupacabra wasn't really seen much after 2905 02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:03,700 around 2000 Giver 2906 02:02:08,580 --> 02:02:05,650 there are sections but for the most part 2907 02:02:09,630 --> 02:02:08,590 it kind of faded away and people that 2908 02:02:12,390 --> 02:02:09,640 didn't really see much but should 2909 02:02:17,250 --> 02:02:12,400 recover for a few years until about 2004 2910 02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:17,260 2005 when people began finding dead 2911 02:02:22,350 --> 02:02:20,170 Harrison nearly hairless dogs dogs and 2912 02:02:24,630 --> 02:02:22,360 coyotes members of the Canon family 2913 02:02:27,360 --> 02:02:24,640 which include AIA dogs coyotes and foxes 2914 02:02:30,600 --> 02:02:27,370 and calling them the chupacabra the most 2915 02:02:32,610 --> 02:02:30,610 famous one is was found in 2007 in Cuero 2916 02:02:34,080 --> 02:02:32,620 Texas by a woman named Phyllis Canyon 2917 02:02:36,060 --> 02:02:34,090 who proclaimed that it was in the summer 2918 02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:36,070 of the chupacabra and she had a good 2919 02:02:40,470 --> 02:02:38,290 time they have sold t-shirts and there 2920 02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:40,480 was a big media hubbub and the media 2921 02:02:45,180 --> 02:02:42,010 international news when she found that 2922 02:02:46,740 --> 02:02:45,190 this dead hairless canine actually flew 2923 02:02:50,430 --> 02:02:46,750 out there I was blown out there by the 2924 02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:50,440 TV show monster quest to investigate 2925 02:02:55,470 --> 02:02:53,890 that chupacabra and but there were other 2926 02:02:59,220 --> 02:02:55,480 ones that was one in Blanco Texas those 2927 02:03:00,930 --> 02:02:59,230 one Elmendorf Texas there was one and 2928 02:03:02,790 --> 02:03:00,940 turned remain of a couple here in New 2929 02:03:05,460 --> 02:03:02,800 Mexico and elsewhere but for the most 2930 02:03:07,170 --> 02:03:05,470 part in this particular case again there 2931 02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:07,180 was a very very different form so yet 2932 02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:11,290 you went from the alien II bipedal spiky 2933 02:03:17,010 --> 02:03:14,170 back to monster to essentially what were 2934 02:03:18,750 --> 02:03:17,020 four legged hairless dogs and they 2935 02:03:21,870 --> 02:03:18,760 certainly looked like that and so 2936 02:03:23,670 --> 02:03:21,880 suddenly we had hard evidence and so 2937 02:03:25,500 --> 02:03:23,680 when you have hard evidence you can do 2938 02:03:27,230 --> 02:03:25,510 DNA tests and you can use science and 2939 02:03:30,060 --> 02:03:27,240 forensics to get the the answers and 2940 02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:30,070 when when those tests were done they 2941 02:03:36,260 --> 02:03:32,170 came back to be either dogs or coyotes 2942 02:03:40,800 --> 02:03:36,270 or on occasion raccoons or in one case a 2943 02:03:42,630 --> 02:03:40,810 notion skate monster of it so that that 2944 02:03:44,370 --> 02:03:42,640 sort of answered that question terms of 2945 02:03:45,990 --> 02:03:44,380 what were these things what were these 2946 02:03:48,750 --> 02:03:46,000 hairless dollars and particularly they 2947 02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:48,760 had what's called sarcoptic mange which 2948 02:03:53,910 --> 02:03:50,770 is a skin disease caused by mites which 2949 02:03:55,980 --> 02:03:53,920 causes the hair to to fall out okay and 2950 02:03:58,440 --> 02:03:55,990 so you just totally you're totally 2951 02:04:01,820 --> 02:03:58,450 discounting that as a possibility for a 2952 02:04:04,140 --> 02:04:01,830 form of blood sucking animal then yes 2953 02:04:06,270 --> 02:04:04,150 for a number reasons and I'll just touch 2954 02:04:07,980 --> 02:04:06,280 on them briefly and again I go into I 2955 02:04:10,680 --> 02:04:07,990 think the second last chapter in the 2956 02:04:14,260 --> 02:04:10,690 book I deal entirely with the the 2957 02:04:16,870 --> 02:04:14,270 physiology of vampires and for my book I 2958 02:04:18,910 --> 02:04:16,880 I went and researched true vampires that 2959 02:04:21,430 --> 02:04:18,920 is animals that actually do suck blood 2960 02:04:23,680 --> 02:04:21,440 such as leeches and lampreys and vampire 2961 02:04:26,380 --> 02:04:23,690 bats and if you look at those creatures 2962 02:04:30,070 --> 02:04:26,390 these these these animals they have a 2963 02:04:31,690 --> 02:04:30,080 very distinctive adaptive digestive 2964 02:04:33,460 --> 02:04:31,700 systems for example and mouth structures 2965 02:04:35,950 --> 02:04:33,470 that allow them to suck blood if you 2966 02:04:38,110 --> 02:04:35,960 look at these these these Texas 2967 02:04:39,940 --> 02:04:38,120 chupacabras there's no way that they 2968 02:04:42,040 --> 02:04:39,950 could physically suck blood it's 2969 02:04:43,780 --> 02:04:42,050 literally impossible for their mouth 2970 02:04:45,820 --> 02:04:43,790 structure to allow them to suck blood 2971 02:04:47,290 --> 02:04:45,830 furthermore there's no mechanism by 2972 02:04:49,870 --> 02:04:47,300 which they could digest blood because 2973 02:04:51,910 --> 02:04:49,880 animals that do suck blood and live on 2974 02:04:54,250 --> 02:04:51,920 blood they have special structures that 2975 02:04:56,560 --> 02:04:54,260 they keep them from succumbing to iron 2976 02:04:58,780 --> 02:04:56,570 toxicity because blood is so rich in 2977 02:05:00,790 --> 02:04:58,790 iron that if you were I drank a lot of 2978 02:05:02,530 --> 02:05:00,800 blood it would actually injure us and 2979 02:05:04,870 --> 02:05:02,540 maybe even kill us because there's so 2980 02:05:08,200 --> 02:05:04,880 much iron or our bodies can't handle it 2981 02:05:09,940 --> 02:05:08,210 and so far none of these creatures have 2982 02:05:11,350 --> 02:05:09,950 have been found to have any of the 2983 02:05:14,200 --> 02:05:11,360 characteristics that we would expect 2984 02:05:15,370 --> 02:05:14,210 from a true vampire so aspiring vampires 2985 02:05:17,920 --> 02:05:15,380 out there in the audience 2986 02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:17,930 take note drinking too much blood can be 2987 02:05:21,580 --> 02:05:19,010 hazardous to your health 2988 02:05:24,190 --> 02:05:21,590 absolutely well there goes the TV shows 2989 02:05:29,650 --> 02:05:24,200 through blood and of course being human 2990 02:05:31,420 --> 02:05:29,660 forget about it okay I'm gonna go on to 2991 02:05:34,330 --> 02:05:31,430 some questions from the board here titer 2992 02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:34,340 zero zero one mentions that he's always 2993 02:05:37,780 --> 02:05:35,690 found Martin Gardner to be an 2994 02:05:39,670 --> 02:05:37,790 interesting person very much a skeptic 2995 02:05:41,620 --> 02:05:39,680 on one hand yet a believer in God on the 2996 02:05:43,450 --> 02:05:41,630 other what does mr. Radford think of a 2997 02:05:45,310 --> 02:05:43,460 fellow traveler such as the late mr. 2998 02:05:47,200 --> 02:05:45,320 Gardner who can hold the hardline 2999 02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:47,210 materialistic view and yet maintain a 3000 02:05:51,430 --> 02:05:48,890 wonder and even a belief in the soul 3001 02:05:53,410 --> 02:05:51,440 that was actually Martin's editor for 3002 02:05:55,600 --> 02:05:53,420 for many years he wrote a column for 3003 02:05:57,550 --> 02:05:55,610 skeptical Inquirer magazine and I was I 3004 02:06:00,940 --> 02:05:57,560 was one of his editors for a while and I 3005 02:06:04,030 --> 02:06:00,950 worked with Martin on many occasions and 3006 02:06:05,890 --> 02:06:04,040 I when I first heard about him and met 3007 02:06:09,760 --> 02:06:05,900 him I I didn't really understand just 3008 02:06:11,500 --> 02:06:09,770 how how massive intellectual contributor 3009 02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:11,510 he was to know not only science but 3010 02:06:15,460 --> 02:06:13,850 skepticism and sort of I grew to 3011 02:06:17,620 --> 02:06:15,470 appreciate that as the years went on 3012 02:06:19,630 --> 02:06:17,630 where I realized just what a massive 3013 02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:19,640 amount of books he had written I think 3014 02:06:24,220 --> 02:06:22,490 over 70 books you know it's certainly 3015 02:06:26,120 --> 02:06:24,230 true that martin profess to believe in 3016 02:06:29,390 --> 02:06:26,130 god belief in God and 3017 02:06:31,610 --> 02:06:29,400 and that's fine I mean I to my mind I've 3018 02:06:33,620 --> 02:06:31,620 always sort of separated out the science 3019 02:06:36,770 --> 02:06:33,630 and religion and you know if people want 3020 02:06:37,370 --> 02:06:36,780 to believe in God or angels or 3021 02:06:40,340 --> 02:06:37,380 what-have-you 3022 02:06:41,990 --> 02:06:40,350 I personally don't care the only place 3023 02:06:44,209 --> 02:06:42,000 that I get into it in my investigations 3024 02:06:45,800 --> 02:06:44,219 is if someone makes a claim that's 3025 02:06:47,780 --> 02:06:45,810 testable I mean if you tell me you 3026 02:06:49,550 --> 02:06:47,790 believe in God that's fine I that 3027 02:06:51,950 --> 02:06:49,560 doesn't bother me at all if you tell me 3028 02:06:53,629 --> 02:06:51,960 that you were healed by God or God gave 3029 02:06:55,459 --> 02:06:53,639 you some special magical power or 3030 02:06:58,280 --> 02:06:55,469 something then at that point that 3031 02:06:59,899 --> 02:06:58,290 becomes a testable claim so that's 3032 02:07:02,360 --> 02:06:59,909 that's where I the draw the line between 3033 02:07:04,430 --> 02:07:02,370 investigate able and and and personal 3034 02:07:07,100 --> 02:07:04,440 beliefs and it doesn't bother me at all 3035 02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:07,110 that that Martin you know believe in God 3036 02:07:12,189 --> 02:07:08,610 that's that's great I mean if you found 3037 02:07:14,510 --> 02:07:12,199 that comforting then more power to him 3038 02:07:16,899 --> 02:07:14,520 yeah I've always wondered about that how 3039 02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:16,909 scientists like quantum physicists could 3040 02:07:22,399 --> 02:07:20,010 you know do all this heavy lifting in 3041 02:07:24,500 --> 02:07:22,409 terms of theoretical physics and 3042 02:07:26,209 --> 02:07:24,510 mathematics and then go to church and 3043 02:07:28,879 --> 02:07:26,219 sort of leave their leave their 3044 02:07:29,919 --> 02:07:28,889 scientific selves at the door I've 3045 02:07:32,810 --> 02:07:29,929 always found that very fascinating 3046 02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:32,820 here's another couple of questions this 3047 02:07:39,590 --> 02:07:36,570 is from ex Lord summers selects who 3048 02:07:41,930 --> 02:07:39,600 claims he's a paranormal

of apparently consistent 3052 02:07:52,240 --> 02:07:49,380 anatomical features such as mid tarsal 3053 02:07:56,360 --> 02:07:52,250 breaks in alleged Bigfoot footprints Oh 3054 02:07:58,010 -->

podcast there is you 3177 02:13:03,470 --> 02:13:00,960 wondered about whether there are ghosts 3178 02:13:05,090 --> 02:13:03,480 and if there are ghosts maybe their 3179 02:13:05,600 --> 02:13:05,100 voices will sound like Chris O'Brien 3180 02:13:06,830 --> 02:13:05,610 there 3181 02:13:08,960 --> 02:13:06,840 we never know I was supposed to be 3182 02:13:11,030 --> 02:13:08,970 Bigfoot gene you're a Bigfoot well you 3183 02:13:13,100 --> 02:13:11,040 know I think gruff fear you know that be 3184 02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:13,110 gruff that's all I'll work on that okay 3185 02:13:18,080 --> 02:13:16,050 yeah sure okay so we were talking child 3186 02:13:20,570 --> 02:13:18,090 young Chris we're talking to Ben Radford 3187 02:13:23,030 --> 02:13:20,580 I would quit my day job but I think this 3188 02:13:25,130 --> 02:13:23,040 is it we're talking to Ben Radford the 3189 02:13:27,230 --> 02:13:25,140 book is tracking the chupacabra I'm gene 3190 02:13:29,180 --> 02:13:27,240 Steinberg and you're in the para cast 3191 02:13:31,280 --> 02:13:29,190 and before we broke you were starting to 3192 02:13:34,490 --> 02:13:31,290 answer question then why'd you pick up 3193 02:13:36,470 --> 02:13:34,500 on that yeah the drums research 3194 02:13:37,850 --> 02:13:36,480 he's an animist at the University of 3195 02:13:38,390 --> 02:13:37,860 Idaho as I recall he's written a couple 3196 02:13:41,330 --> 02:13:38,400 of books 3197 02:13:43,340 --> 02:13:41,340 I think main one is I think it's called 3198 02:13:45,110 --> 02:13:43,350 Sasquatch legend meets science or 3199 02:13:46,820 --> 02:13:45,120 something Jeff is an interesting 3200 02:13:50,210 --> 02:13:46,830 character because he sort of inherited 3201 02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:50,220 the mantle of the the primary Bigfoot 3202 02:13:54,020 --> 02:13:52,770 scientist after Grover Krantz died I 3203 02:13:56,210 --> 02:13:54,030 like Jeff I've met him a couple times 3204 02:13:58,280 --> 02:13:56,220 and he I personally think he's a cool 3205 02:14:00,980 --> 02:13:58,290 guy and he's a he's a nice guy 3206 02:14:04,100 --> 02:14:00,990 I do however have serious problems with 3207 02:14:06,680 --> 02:14:04,110 the logic in his book hip where he talks 3208 02:14:09,590 --> 02:14:06,690 about for example me tarsal breaks and 3209 02:14:12,010 --> 02:14:09,600 and and some things that in terms of 3210 02:14:15,140 --> 02:14:12,020 play for example why why a big footprint 3211 02:14:18,230 --> 02:14:15,150 must be real and I don't have the time 3212 02:14:21,440 --> 02:14:18,240 deaths to get into it but I along with 3213 02:14:24,530 --> 02:14:21,450 several people including Maryland David 3214 02:14:27,560 --> 02:14:24,540 daily and Mike Bennett wrote a very 3215 02:14:29,540 --> 02:14:27,570 in-depth review of Meldrum's book in 3216 02:14:32,660 --> 02:14:29,550 skeptical Inquirer magazine it was a 3217 02:14:34,400 --> 02:14:32,670 four was a basically each of us reviewed 3218 02:14:37,400 --> 02:14:34,410 a part of this book from our particular 3219 02:14:41,030 --> 02:14:37,410 brand of expertise and that that deals a 3220 02:14:44,180 --> 02:14:41,040 lot with our responses to to Jess Jess 3221 02:14:45,560 --> 02:14:44,190 book I like him I don't think his 3222 02:14:48,830 --> 02:14:45,570 science is very good in some of those 3223 02:14:50,210 --> 02:14:48,840 cases and I'd like to see more out of 3224 02:14:52,820 --> 02:14:50,220 them so you 3225 02:14:55,820 --> 02:14:52,830 okay part two of Lord summers Lex's 3226 02:14:58,010 --> 02:14:55,830 questions would be he'd be interested to 3227 02:15:00,620 --> 02:14:58,020 get your take on the patterson-gimlin 3228 02:15:02,630 --> 02:15:00,630 film Bob hieronymus the guy who claimed 3229 02:15:04,280 --> 02:15:02,640 he wore this suit has changed his story 3230 02:15:06,050 --> 02:15:04,290 and on a number of occasions giving 3231 02:15:08,210 --> 02:15:06,060 contradictory versions of the details of 3232 02:15:10,580 --> 02:15:08,220 this suit and so on which it best 3233 02:15:12,860 --> 02:15:10,590 suggests that he's an unreliable witness 3234 02:15:15,530 --> 02:15:12,870 could this version of events be a hoax 3235 02:15:17,390 --> 02:15:15,540 in and of itself personally he's on the 3236 02:15:19,220 --> 02:15:17,400 fence in terms of the veracity of the 3237 02:15:21,080 --> 02:15:19,230 film Patterson story has problems 3238 02:15:23,270 --> 02:15:21,090 particularly in regards to the timeline 3239 02:15:24,860 --> 02:15:23,280 of developing the film exactly but then 3240 02:15:26,990 --> 02:15:24,870 the long hieronymus version has its 3241 02:15:30,020 --> 02:15:27,000 problems too so I guess he wants you to 3242 02:15:31,550 --> 02:15:30,030 address that much sure obviously this is 3243 02:15:34,850 --> 02:15:31,560 a subject I could talk for an hour and a 3244 02:15:37,040 --> 02:15:34,860 half on but essentially you know the the 3245 02:15:38,690 --> 02:15:37,050 hieronymus story I mean just to be very 3246 02:15:40,340 --> 02:15:38,700 clear there are several people who have 3247 02:15:42,500 --> 02:15:40,350 claimed to have been in the Bigfoot suit 3248 02:15:44,420 --> 02:15:42,510 not just for animus Ron's has only ones 3249 02:15:46,550 --> 02:15:44,430 latest ones and people need to 3250 02:15:48,800 --> 02:15:46,560 understand that it's it's not it's a 3251 02:15:51,860 --> 02:15:48,810 false dichotomy to say that either Bob 3252 02:15:54,020 --> 02:15:51,870 hieronymus is lying or the Bigfoot the 3253 02:15:55,790 --> 02:15:54,030 Patterson Gimlin film was real that's 3254 02:15:58,760 --> 02:15:55,800 not correct I mean it could be that he's 3255 02:16:02,300 --> 02:15:58,770 lying and and as well the the film is 3256 02:16:04,850 --> 02:16:02,310 fake so and as as the question included 3257 02:16:08,180 --> 02:16:04,860 there are some very very serious issues 3258 02:16:09,350 --> 02:16:08,190 with the timeline and how exactly the 3259 02:16:11,060 --> 02:16:09,360 the patter system could have been 3260 02:16:13,340 --> 02:16:11,070 developed in such a short period of time 3261 02:16:16,220 --> 02:16:13,350 if you go back and you later look at it 3262 02:16:18,200 --> 02:16:16,230 that so far even the people who believe 3263 02:16:20,150 --> 02:16:18,210 very staunchly in the in the Patterson 3264 02:16:22,370 --> 02:16:20,160 Gimlin film they can't explain it they 3265 02:16:24,410 --> 02:16:22,380 don't have an answer for for how some of 3266 02:16:26,090 --> 02:16:24,420 these things were even possible again 3267 02:16:29,210 --> 02:16:26,100 there's a lot to it there's been claims 3268 02:16:30,680 --> 02:16:29,220 for example that the the locomotion that 3269 02:16:32,690 --> 02:16:30,690 you see in the film could not be 3270 02:16:35,030 --> 02:16:32,700 duplicated and that's been proven false 3271 02:16:38,690 --> 02:16:35,040 by a friend of mine Dave Daley who wrote 3272 02:16:41,120 --> 02:16:38,700 a book on the subject and he did his own 3273 02:16:44,270 --> 02:16:41,130 test in fact you can do the exact 3274 02:16:46,280 --> 02:16:44,280 locomotion of the things so I think to 3275 02:16:48,050 --> 02:16:46,290 my mind again there's lots and lots to 3276 02:16:50,660 --> 02:16:48,060 it to my mind one of the biggest 3277 02:16:53,180 --> 02:16:50,670 arguments against it is that the you 3278 02:16:55,370 --> 02:16:53,190 know the Patterson film remains the best 3279 02:16:58,340 --> 02:16:55,380 evidence for Bigfoot and again remember 3280 02:17:00,910 --> 02:16:58,350 this is 1967 this is when Lyndon Johnson 3281 02:17:03,270 --> 02:17:00,920 was in the White House you know said 3282 02:17:04,620 --> 02:17:03,280 since that time you know 3283 02:17:06,870 --> 02:17:04,630 hammers have been cheaper more 3284 02:17:08,940 --> 02:17:06,880 affordable better quality I find it 3285 02:17:12,690 --> 02:17:08,950 inexplicable that if there really are 3286 02:17:15,240 --> 02:17:12,700 Bigfoots in a better quality film or 3287 02:17:18,270 --> 02:17:15,250 video made in the last you know almost 3288 02:17:19,710 --> 02:17:18,280 50 years I I just find that unbelievable 3289 02:17:20,570 --> 02:17:19,720 so the polish footage is pretty 3290 02:17:23,100 --> 02:17:20,580 interesting 3291 02:17:25,950 --> 02:17:23,110 I maybe you're more impressed with it 3292 02:17:28,200 --> 02:17:25,960 than I am but even the question remains 3293 02:17:29,940 --> 02:17:28,210 why isn't there better evidence yeah 3294 02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:29,950 just like UFO photos are always blurry 3295 02:17:35,610 --> 02:17:33,010 and out of focus you know well we have 3296 02:17:38,490 --> 02:17:35,620 another interesting question from our 3297 02:17:41,310 --> 02:17:38,500 previous questioner if Bigfoot doesn't 3298 02:17:42,870 --> 02:17:41,320 exist what are people experiencing while 3299 02:17:45,360 --> 02:17:42,880 I'd agree that the image of a hairy 3300 02:17:47,280 --> 02:17:45,370 forest giant has archetypal and occurs 3301 02:17:48,870 --> 02:17:47,290 in many different cultures how could 3302 02:17:50,910 --> 02:17:48,880 this lead to people seeing something 3303 02:17:52,770 --> 02:17:50,920 they believed to be Bigfoot what do you 3304 02:17:55,980 --> 02:17:52,780 think of other mystery primates such as 3305 02:17:59,340 --> 02:17:55,990 the orange and AK for instance well as 3306 02:18:01,350 --> 02:17:59,350 with vampires stories of sort of wild 3307 02:18:03,810 --> 02:18:01,360 man of the woods and furo people of Ural 3308 02:18:05,490 --> 02:18:03,820 men are universal there's nothing new 3309 02:18:07,710 --> 02:18:05,500 about that to report it all over the 3310 02:18:09,600 --> 02:18:07,720 place and you can you can find cases of 3311 02:18:11,940 --> 02:18:09,610 that in in Native American lore and 3312 02:18:14,400 --> 02:18:11,950 First Nations lore and elsewhere that's 3313 02:18:16,560 --> 02:18:14,410 not particularly surprising and in terms 3314 02:18:18,210 --> 02:18:16,570 of what are people seeing people are 3315 02:18:20,040 --> 02:18:18,220 it's the same thing with with ghosts and 3316 02:18:21,690 --> 02:18:20,050 Chupacabra sightings it's a mistake to 3317 02:18:24,420 --> 02:18:21,700 look for one singular blanket 3318 02:18:26,310 --> 02:18:24,430 explanation because there isn't one some 3319 02:18:28,680 --> 02:18:26,320 people are seeing brown bears some 3320 02:18:29,940 --> 02:18:28,690 people are seeing you know pranksters 3321 02:18:31,560 --> 02:18:29,950 some people are seeing hoaxes or some 3322 02:18:34,530 --> 02:18:31,570 people are seeing things in their 3323 02:18:35,850 --> 02:18:34,540 imagination a lot of times as was the 3324 02:18:38,930 --> 02:18:35,860 case with chupacabra that I talked about 3325 02:18:40,890 --> 02:18:38,940 is that people will report Bigfoot 3326 02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:40,900 experiences but they don't necessarily 3327 02:18:43,650 --> 02:18:42,370 have any connection to Bigfoot for 3328 02:18:46,230 --> 02:18:43,660 example there are many cases where 3329 02:18:48,960 --> 02:18:46,240 people will be out camping in the woods 3330 02:18:50,850 --> 02:18:48,970 and they'll hear girl growls or you know 3331 02:18:52,560 --> 02:18:50,860 they'll have rocks being thrown or 3332 02:18:54,600 --> 02:18:52,570 something and they'll assume it's 3333 02:18:57,960 --> 02:18:54,610 Bigfoot without actually having seen a 3334 02:19:00,030 --> 02:18:57,970 Bigfoot so it's important to not lump 3335 02:19:01,590 --> 02:19:00,040 together you know any sort of weird 3336 02:19:04,350 --> 02:19:01,600 sounds someone hears in the woods with 3337 02:19:06,360 --> 02:19:04,360 an up-close Bigfoot sighting well I have 3338 02:19:09,240 --> 02:19:06,370 a personal experience that's very much 3339 02:19:12,120 --> 02:19:09,250 like you've just described the base of 3340 02:19:14,430 --> 02:19:12,130 Mount Shasta or I feel I heard something 3341 02:19:16,410 --> 02:19:14,440 that was impossibly loud that did not 3342 02:19:18,209 --> 02:19:16,420 conform to any animal 3343 02:19:20,640 --> 02:19:18,219 that I've ever heard of or heard 3344 02:19:22,620 --> 02:19:20,650 examples of their calls it literally 3345 02:19:25,020 --> 02:19:22,630 made my eardrums rattle it was so loud 3346 02:19:28,860 --> 02:19:25,030 it bounced off foothills over a mile 3347 02:19:30,509 --> 02:19:28,870 away and I assume whatever was crashing 3348 02:19:32,100 --> 02:19:30,519 through that impenetrable hedge of 3349 02:19:35,190 --> 02:19:32,110 mountain huckleberry whatever this was 3350 02:19:37,049 --> 02:19:35,200 super tough the hedge was made out of it 3351 02:19:39,780 --> 02:19:37,059 was coming at me and there was no way 3352 02:19:41,160 --> 02:19:39,790 that anything unless it was huge could 3353 02:19:43,250 --> 02:19:41,170 could have made its way through that 3354 02:19:46,160 --> 02:19:43,260 hedge now this could have been totally 3355 02:19:48,480 --> 02:19:46,170 you know just a whole combination of 3356 02:19:50,280 --> 02:19:48,490 mundane events that happened to call s 3357 02:19:52,980 --> 02:19:50,290 together into something it sure seemed 3358 02:19:55,710 --> 02:19:52,990 like a big but ticked off at my buddy 3359 02:19:57,179 --> 02:19:55,720 and I and off the mountain but you would 3360 02:19:58,800 --> 02:19:57,189 agree that just because you can't 3361 02:20:01,350 --> 02:19:58,810 identify the sound doesn't mean it's 3362 02:20:04,290 --> 02:20:01,360 it's it's undeniable right that's 3363 02:20:06,330 --> 02:20:04,300 correct I did not see it I smelled it it 3364 02:20:16,050 --> 02:20:06,340 was one of the most foul-smelling smells 3365 02:20:19,230 --> 02:20:16,060 I've ever smelled did you bust one no I 3366 02:20:20,700 --> 02:20:19,240 didn't and there was this weird fecal 3367 02:20:23,460 --> 02:20:20,710 material that seemed to be smeared on 3368 02:20:26,520 --> 02:20:23,470 some strip branches or these huge 3369 02:20:28,980 --> 02:20:26,530 mountain flies were flying around it so 3370 02:20:30,750 --> 02:20:28,990 there were other things involved in 3371 02:20:33,810 --> 02:20:30,760 deciding which I I don't want to digress 3372 02:20:36,390 --> 02:20:33,820 too far here but but yes I it's a point 3373 02:20:37,980 --> 02:20:36,400 well taken that just because it looks 3374 02:20:39,719 --> 02:20:37,990 like it sucking quacks like a duck 3375 02:20:43,620 --> 02:20:39,729 doesn't mean that it's necessarily a 3376 02:20:45,300 --> 02:20:43,630 duck you know that Chris would be there 3377 02:20:50,760 --> 02:20:45,310 and they wanted to just freak you out 3378 02:20:53,160 --> 02:20:50,770 that's all yeah that great barker gray 3379 02:20:56,340 --> 02:20:53,170 Parker wasn't alive in was he no no 3380 02:20:58,080 --> 02:20:56,350 or it wasn't Moseley either I don't know 3381 02:21:02,219 --> 02:20:58,090 of Mosley of all the things he's done 3382 02:21:04,170 --> 02:21:02,229 ever tried to become a Bigfoot I mean 3383 02:21:10,400 --> 02:21:04,180 he's done his share of stuff been you 3384 02:21:14,550 --> 02:21:10,410 know who Jim Mosely is right around know 3385 02:21:16,590 --> 02:21:14,560 you know because Freeman is responsible 3386 02:21:19,710 --> 02:21:16,600 for some some pretty dubious Bigfoot 3387 02:21:21,210 --> 02:21:19,720 stuff so yeah well we was a firm up this 3388 02:21:22,770 --> 02:21:21,220 logging road we had to dig our way 3389 02:21:24,090 --> 02:21:22,780 through snowdrifts to get up there we 3390 02:21:25,830 --> 02:21:24,100 were the first ones there that year it 3391 02:21:27,810 --> 02:21:25,840 was early spring so it was pretty 3392 02:21:28,850 --> 02:21:27,820 interesting experience one that 3393 02:21:30,921 --> 02:21:28,860 definitely stand 3394 02:21:32,690 --> 02:21:30,931 out of my mind no question and doesn't 3395 02:21:34,341 --> 02:21:32,700 sound as if Jim Mosley would want to go 3396 02:21:36,711 --> 02:21:34,351 there because Jim lives in Florida these 3397 02:21:38,870 --> 02:21:36,721 days he wants the warm weather you know 3398 02:21:41,180 --> 02:21:38,880 it's just not the kind of thing he does 3399 02:21:43,700 --> 02:21:41,190 we'll get

that's my problem Chris O'Brien's the 3547 02:27:43,610 --> 02:27:41,160 co-host I'm gene Steinberg the guest is 3548 02:27:45,830 --> 02:27:43,620 Benjamin Radford the book is tracking 3549 02:27:48,980 --> 02:27:45,840 the chupacabra this is our final segment 3550 02:27:51,110 --> 02:27:48,990 dan what do you think people are seen it 3551 02:27:54,650 --> 02:27:51,120 could it be in the case of the orangutan 3552 02:27:56,060 --> 02:27:54,660 dad could it be a true potential crypto 3553 02:27:58,011 --> 02:27:56,070 creature do you think I mystery primate 3554 02:28:05,270 --> 02:27:58,021 do you think there are mystery primates 3555 02:28:06,560 --> 02:28:05,280 out there as you get a gigantic I would 3556 02:28:09,770 --> 02:28:06,570 have to come down and say you know 3557 02:28:12,110 --> 02:28:09,780 where's the evidence as I always do you 3558 02:28:14,060 --> 02:28:12,120 know I I would love to be to be the 3559 02:28:16,400 --> 02:28:14,070 first person to see the Bigfoot or to 3560 02:28:21,350 --> 02:28:16,410 discover it and to cover you know the 3561 02:28:24,250 --> 02:28:21,360 news of its discovery I have a question 3562 02:28:27,051 --> 02:28:24,260 for you ever seen a dead bear carcass I 3563 02:28:30,711 --> 02:28:27,061 have in fact yeah okay how about a dead 3564 02:28:32,841 --> 02:28:30,721 mountain lion no there are lots of bears 3565 02:28:35,511 --> 02:28:32,851 and lots of mountain lions but very very 3566 02:28:38,240 --> 02:28:35,521 little in the case of mountain lines I I 3567 02:28:40,400 --> 02:28:38,250 do not know anyone who's ever seen a 3568 02:28:43,671 --> 02:28:40,410 mountain lion carcass and I know quite a 3569 02:28:45,680 --> 02:28:43,681 few outdoorsmen and I've asked that 3570 02:28:48,801 --> 02:28:45,690 would be one argument that would suggest 3571 02:28:50,900 --> 02:28:48,811 that possibly uh you know the physical 3572 02:28:52,610 --> 02:28:50,910 evidence left behind may be a lot more 3573 02:28:55,180 --> 02:28:52,620 rare than then you would you would 3574 02:28:57,410 --> 02:28:55,190 suspect so well that's one argument 3575 02:28:59,930 --> 02:28:57,420 except for the fact that I don't judge 3576 02:29:01,671 --> 02:28:59,940 it based upon whether I personally have 3577 02:29:03,650 --> 02:29:01,681 seen it I mean I have never seen a 3578 02:29:04,131 --> 02:29:03,660 giraffe fetus either but I don't doubt 3579 02:29:06,261 --> 02:29:04,141 that 3580 02:29:07,821 --> 02:29:06,271 exist just because I don't encounter 3581 02:29:09,770 --> 02:29:07,831 them in my everyday life most people 3582 02:29:11,270 --> 02:29:09,780 probably don't that doesn't to my mind 3583 02:29:12,951 --> 02:29:11,280 that doesn't really have any necessary 3584 02:29:14,751 --> 02:29:12,961 implication right yeah you personally 3585 02:29:18,861 --> 02:29:14,761 seen of course but that's one thing that 3586 02:29:22,461 --> 02:29:18,871 I would suggest when you do go out on 3587 02:29:26,241 --> 02:29:22,471 Bigfoot research projects that maybe you 3588 02:29:29,600 --> 02:29:26,251 ask outdoorsmen ask you know people who 3589 02:29:32,211 --> 02:29:29,610 are very very knowledgeable about the 3590 02:29:35,661 --> 02:29:32,221 outdoors and you'll be surprised at how 3591 02:29:39,321 --> 02:29:35,671 few if any have ever seen carcasses of 3592 02:29:42,560 --> 02:29:39,331 animals especially predators um they're 3593 02:29:45,801 --> 02:29:42,570 pretty rare and I'm not saying that this 3594 02:29:48,440 --> 02:29:45,811 is an argument supporting the existence 3595 02:29:50,241 --> 02:29:48,450 of these crypto creatures but it is 3596 02:29:52,371 --> 02:29:50,251 something that I think that we need to 3597 02:29:53,751 --> 02:29:52,381 always bear in mind that physical 3598 02:29:55,850 --> 02:29:53,761 evidence out in the woods tends to 3599 02:29:58,491 --> 02:29:55,860 disappear very quickly because there's a 3600 02:30:01,551 --> 02:29:58,501 lot of hungry animals out there spread 3601 02:30:02,751 --> 02:30:01,561 the bones around and whatnot so but what 3602 02:30:05,270 --> 02:30:02,761 do you think about the orangutan deck 3603 02:30:08,060 --> 02:30:05,280 for instance in the work that's being 3604 02:30:09,980 --> 02:30:08,070 done trying to establish once and for 3605 02:30:13,551 --> 02:30:09,990 all whether this particular mystery 3606 02:30:15,980 --> 02:30:13,561 primate exists I think probably all the 3607 02:30:18,140 --> 02:30:15,990 places in the world that might hold a 3608 02:30:20,301 --> 02:30:18,150 mystery primate primate probably the 3609 02:30:23,091 --> 02:30:20,311 around pen deck is among the more 3610 02:30:25,611 --> 02:30:23,101 plausible just partly because of its 3611 02:30:27,051 --> 02:30:25,621 remoteness partly because of the fossil 3612 02:30:29,781 --> 02:30:27,061 record out there I don't necessarily 3613 02:30:31,850 --> 02:30:29,791 believe or disbelieve I mean I'm open to 3614 02:30:34,430 --> 02:30:31,860 the evidence either way but I think for 3615 02:30:36,201 --> 02:30:34,440 example there's there's far or there's a 3616 02:30:37,761 --> 02:30:36,211 far far higher and better chance of 3617 02:30:38,690 --> 02:30:37,771 finding the round pen deck than a 3618 02:30:42,381 --> 02:30:38,700 Finding Bigfoot 3619 02:30:44,871 --> 02:30:42,391 just for for any number of reasons okay 3620 02:30:47,060 --> 02:30:44,881 well what's next on your your research 3621 02:30:49,461 --> 02:30:47,070 calendar what what projects are you 3622 02:30:52,281 --> 02:30:49,471 currently gearing up for or are you 3623 02:30:54,190 --> 02:30:52,291 involved in a new project yeah I got a 3624 02:30:56,751 --> 02:30:54,200 handful of things right now there's a 3625 02:30:59,241 --> 02:30:56,761 I'm involved in they actually a 3626 02:31:00,381 --> 02:30:59,251 plagiarism investigation when I was sort 3627 02:31:02,121 --> 02:31:00,391 of a spinoff of my chupacabra 3628 02:31:05,241 --> 02:31:02,131 investigation I was doing some research 3629 02:31:07,071 --> 02:31:05,251 and I found that that that most of this 3630 02:31:08,150 --> 02:31:07,081 particular book was plagiarized so I've 3631 02:31:09,890 --> 02:31:08,160 been I've been dealing with 3632 02:31:13,251 --> 02:31:09,900 HarperCollins to let them know about 3633 02:31:14,751 --> 02:31:13,261 that I'll be giving a talk let me stop 3634 02:31:17,540 --> 02:31:14,761 you right there can you tell us which 3635 02:31:19,130 --> 02:31:17,550 book I I cannot it's no it's not 3636 02:31:20,780 --> 02:31:19,140 I'm waiting for a response back from 3637 02:31:22,429 --> 02:31:20,790 HarperCollins but it's a it's a book 3638 02:31:25,730 --> 02:31:22,439 about vampires it's an encyclopedia 3639 02:31:27,740 --> 02:31:25,740 about vampires okay and they lifted 3640 02:31:28,969 --> 02:31:27,750 material from you I'm sure you know I 3641 02:31:32,510 --> 02:31:28,979 wish they had because they would have 3642 02:31:34,969 --> 02:31:32,520 gotten it right the they they lifted 3643 02:31:36,980 --> 02:31:34,979 material from they just basically did a 3644 02:31:40,340 --> 02:31:36,990 Google search and from what I can tell 3645 02:31:42,860 --> 02:31:40,350 well over half of her book is is taken 3646 02:31:46,639 --> 02:31:42,870 directly from from Google okay so they 3647 02:31:49,219 --> 02:31:46,649 didn't even write it no there was a 3648 02:31:51,889 --> 02:31:49,229 little bit of paraphrasing much of it 3649 02:31:53,540 --> 02:31:51,899 was verbatim and and frankly if this is 3650 02:31:55,849 --> 02:31:53,550 a surprising because you know it 3651 02:31:57,500 --> 02:31:55,859 certainly in my research you know 3652 02:31:59,750 --> 02:31:57,510 chupacabras and Bigfoot's and ghosts 3653 02:32:01,490 --> 02:31:59,760 there's a whole lot and you guys know 3654 02:32:03,770 --> 02:32:01,500 this as well there was a way to much 3655 02:32:05,179 --> 02:32:03,780 just literally copying from other people 3656 02:32:08,750 --> 02:32:05,189 and plagiarism instead of you know 3657 02:32:10,219 --> 02:32:08,760 original investigation but so there's 3658 02:32:11,599 --> 02:32:10,229 that I'm working on I'll be giving a 3659 02:32:14,360 --> 02:32:11,609 talk for the American folklore society 3660 02:32:16,670 --> 02:32:14,370 later this year on the folklore of the 3661 02:32:19,750 --> 02:32:16,680 chupacabra and there's a handful of 3662 02:32:22,070 --> 02:32:19,760 other things that just just miracles 3663 02:32:23,480 --> 02:32:22,080 I've been doing a little piece on some 3664 02:32:24,950 --> 02:32:23,490 crystal skulls which is something that 3665 02:32:27,500 --> 02:32:24,960 Kris knows something about as well oh 3666 02:32:29,300 --> 02:32:27,510 yeah okay so let me ask you about the 3667 02:32:30,800 --> 02:32:29,310 Crystal Skull thing before we let you go 3668 02:32:32,870 --> 02:32:30,810 what are you finding out about the 3669 02:32:35,270 --> 02:32:32,880 crystal skulls anything weird probably 3670 02:32:37,010 --> 02:32:35,280 not because we don't expect you to find 3671 02:32:40,070 --> 02:32:37,020 anything weird do we I would love to 3672 02:32:41,510 --> 02:32:40,080 find something weird let me show you 3673 02:32:44,889 --> 02:32:41,520 what I look like then you'll see weird 3674 02:32:51,860 --> 02:32:44,899 go ahead please oh my god is that you 3675 02:32:58,210 --> 02:32:51,870 did have to be in color oh man that's 3676 02:33:00,770 --> 02:32:58,220 why I do radio you know no I mean it's 3677 02:33:03,559 --> 02:33:00,780 there's all sorts of basically I mean 3678 02:33:04,790 --> 02:33:03,569 again probably Chris's is very with this 3679 02:33:07,429 --> 02:33:04,800 as well but I get back to the 3680 02:33:09,559 --> 02:33:07,439 mitchell-hedges skull and then there's 3681 02:33:10,940 --> 02:33:09,569 the San Luis Valley skull that that the 3682 02:33:13,700 --> 02:33:10,950 Chris wrote about in his book a 3683 02:33:17,840 --> 02:33:13,710 mysterious valley so it's long to myself 3684 02:33:18,800 --> 02:33:17,850 you better hasten to add yes there you 3685 02:33:21,650 --> 02:33:18,810 go there you go 3686 02:33:23,360 --> 02:33:21,660 so yeah you know part of the thing is 3687 02:33:24,950 --> 02:33:23,370 because of what I do there are so many 3688 02:33:26,840 --> 02:33:24,960 irons in the fire there's different 3689 02:33:28,080 --> 02:33:26,850 vestigation --zz I'm also working on a 3690 02:33:31,200 --> 02:33:28,090 master's program 3691 02:33:33,960 --> 02:33:31,210 I do a podcast called monster talk with 3692 02:33:36,780 --> 02:33:33,970 Blake Smith and Karen stoles now and all 3693 02:33:39,599 --> 02:33:36,790 my other stuff so it's the super cop is 3694 02:33:41,849 --> 02:33:39,609 only the latest of my my my stuff so 3695 02:33:43,860 --> 02:33:41,859 hopefully people will look at it with an 3696 02:33:45,690 --> 02:33:43,870 open mind and decide for themselves well 3697 02:33:47,700 --> 02:33:45,700 that's one thing that I want to applaud 3698 02:33:50,880 --> 02:33:47,710 you on is your open-minded healthy 3699 02:33:53,520 --> 02:33:50,890 skepticism I think some of the debunkers 3700 02:33:55,679 --> 02:33:53,530 in the world should be sitting up and 3701 02:33:58,349 --> 02:33:55,689 taking notice of your approach it's been 3702 02:34:02,280 --> 02:33:58,359 a pleasure having somebody who's 3703 02:34:03,870 --> 02:34:02,290 grounded and objective and him in not 3704 02:34:05,340 --> 02:34:03,880 totally throwing the baby out with the 3705 02:34:07,139 --> 02:34:05,350 bathwater but but looking at the 3706 02:34:09,780 --> 02:34:07,149 evidence I think dispassionately and in 3707 02:34:11,550 --> 02:34:09,790 really having fun while doing it it's 3708 02:34:13,260 --> 02:34:11,560 been a real pleasure speaking with you 3709 02:34:15,150 --> 02:34:13,270 and bam we we really would like to have 3710 02:34:16,650 --> 02:34:15,160 you back on the show I think you're 3711 02:34:18,840 --> 02:34:16,660 you're one of our better guests that 3712 02:34:21,540 --> 02:34:18,850 we've had and I really do applaud your 3713 02:34:23,760 --> 02:34:21,550 work and I agree with quite a bit of 3714 02:34:25,679 --> 02:34:23,770 what if not most of what you came up 3715 02:34:27,900 --> 02:34:25,689 with in this book I was very impressed 3716 02:34:29,219 --> 02:34:27,910 with it I must say and all you true 3717 02:34:32,700 --> 02:34:29,229 believers out there and now have 3718 02:34:37,830 --> 02:34:32,710 something to throw mud at well now you 3719 02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:37,840 can go hate all of us because I yeah I'm 3720 02:34:41,040 --> 02:34:39,010 right we're gonna get hit from both 3721 02:34:42,960 --> 02:34:41,050 sides here but I think you've done a lot 3722 02:34:45,389 --> 02:34:42,970 of good research and whether or not 3723 02:34:47,969 --> 02:34:45,399 ladies and gentlemen you agree if there 3724 02:34:51,179 --> 02:34:47,979 are paranormal events or not paranormal 3725 02:34:53,849 --> 02:34:51,189 events it's important to read all sites 3726 02:34:56,219 --> 02:34:53,859 the skeptic the believer look of the 3727 02:34:58,770 --> 02:34:56,229 evidence realize that not everything is 3728 02:35:00,540 --> 02:34:58,780 a UFO not everything is a strange 3729 02:35:02,370 --> 02:35:00,550 creature from outer space another 3730 02:35:04,560 --> 02:35:02,380 dimension or anywhere else maybe we have 3731 02:35:06,150 --> 02:35:04,570 those things okay because that's what 3732 02:35:08,010 --> 02:35:06,160 the purpose of the show is to find that 3733 02:35:10,760 --> 02:35:08,020
